WHAT DOES A CRIMINAL LAWYER DO?


If you are facing criminal charges, an experienced lawyer who specializes in criminal law is going to be an enormous help. A criminal law attorney acts on your behalf in all sorts of cases, including bail bond hearings, plea bargains, trials, appeals, and post-conviction remedies. He or she will investigate the case and interview witnesses, then research relevant laws, to build your defense. A professional attorney knows how to negotiate with the prosecution to arrive at a plea bargain or lesser charges. 

At trial, a lawyer will advocate for your interests. If you want the best possible outcome for your criminal case, an experienced criminal lawyer is your best option. Our office has decades of experience defending criminal trials in the Western New York area. When you contact us, you can count on that experience going to work for you.

TRUST OUR CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY FOR RELIABLE COUNSEL


An experienced criminal defense attorney is vital when you're facing a criminal case. It's important to work with an experienced professional who can advise you of all your options. Not every case needs to go to court; plenty of criminal cases are resolved through plea bargains, which is where the defendant agrees to plead guilty to a lesser charge in exchange for having the original charge (or the remainder of multiple charges) dropped. This saves time and penalties. However, you still want to work with an attorney with the experience to defend you in court if necessary. Kathleen Gaines has decades of experience serving clients in Western New York. No matter what your case requires, she can help.
