The Range of Services Provided by a Lawyer

A criminal defense attorney is a steadfast ally for individuals facing criminal charges, offering comprehensive services to safeguard their clients' rights and pursue just outcomes.

The multifaceted role of a lawyer includes the following:

  • Protecting legal rights. Drawing upon their deep understanding of criminal law, defense attorneys are adept at identifying and addressing any factors that could compromise the fairness of the legal proceedings.
  • Investigating and gathering evidence. An investigation entails examining the details of the alleged offense, including interviewing witnesses, analyzing forensic evidence, and scrutinizing police reports. By leaving no stone unturned, defense attorneys strive to uncover exculpatory evidence that may bolster their client's defense or undermine the prosecution's case.
  • Negotiating with prosecutors. Leveraging their insight into the case's strengths and weaknesses, defense attorneys negotiate with prosecutors to seek favorable plea deals that could mitigate the potential consequences of a conviction.
  • Crafting a defense strategy. Criminal defense attorneys take a client-centered approach, listening attentively to their clients' perspectives and concerns and tailoring their defense strategies accordingly. By applying their knowledge of legal precedents and statutes while recognizing the distinctive aspects of each case, defense attorneys develop strategies to seek favorable outcomes for their clients.

  • “Despite his kindness, I have never once doubted his ability to provide me with THE BEST representation in court.”
    He is approachable but serious. Mr. Horowitz is the perfect balance of what someone wants in a lawyer. Not only is he approachable enough to gain and value your trust, but he's a bulldog in the courtroom. Despite his kindness, I have never once doubted his ability to provide me with THE BEST representation in court. I'm so thankful to have found a lawyer capable of such a delicate balancing act.

    Tough, humble, has integrity - simply THE best. With Dan it is not so much about the money but about doing what is right. A very rare breed. He has honesty and integrity and the jurys see it. If he doesn't believe in the case or the client he won't waste your time or his. But you better listen to him!...Believe an trust in him. I did and I am totally indebted to him. He is "The best of the best." Thank you Dan for all you have done and continue to do. Carole~ Arbuckle v. Board of Chiropractic Examiners
