Chong C. Park, Esquire
If you have been charged with a felony crime, it is imperative that you know the potential consequences and your rights under the law. An experienced and skilled criminal defense attorney can protect your rights.
If you are accused of a crime, you should know that the police and prosecutors do not have your interest in mind. Instead, they are empowered by the government to seek a conviction against you based upon the evidence that they've collected.
Even if an investigating officer tells you that he or she is simply trying to seek the truth or understand your version of the story, you should always keep in mind that their duty is to gather evidence against you.
There are times when police officers and prosecutors are wrong. Their decision to arrest you and prosecute you may be based upon inaccurate information from witnesses, or evidence gathered from incompetent or ill-willed witnesses.
If you are accused of a crime, you cannot rely on law enforcement to flush out the truth. One of their main objective is to gather the evidence to support a conviction against you.
The strength of your defense and the weaknesses of the prosecutor's evidence may have a significant impact on the ultimate outcome even if you decide to plead guilty. Their is no incentive for a prosecutor to agree to a minimal sentence if a criminal defendant has no leverage with which to negotiate.
An attorney's ability to effectively point out the potential problems in prosecutor's evidence may be that leverage, and may be the difference between a harsh sentence, a light one, or none at all.
Empowered with the knowledge of how a case should be defended and the likelihood of prevailing with those defenses, the client can make an educated decision on whether to proceed to trial or seek a plea bargain.
If a client decides to go to trial, Chong Park has the skills and legal knowledge to present the best defense before a judge or jury.
