A loud knock at the door jolts you out of your after lunch siesta. You wonder who
could knock your door so hard. You wipe your sleepy eyes and make for the door.
All signs of sleep varnish away from your eyes as you come face to face with your
visitors. One of the mean looking uninvited visitors whips out his identity card and
flashes it on your face and shouts ³Federal police Mr««You are under arrest´

This is a typical scenario that can occur to anyone any time. What do you do when
something like this happens to you? You have no time to shop around for an
attorney. You find yourself between the rock and the hard place. That is why it is
important to have a criminal defense attorney. You may not have any legal issues
right now but you need to have access to a reliable, qualified and experienced
defense lawyer.

One major advantage of having a criminal defense attorney is that in case of

unexpected arrest, he can come to your rescue at the police station. The police will
always allow you to contact your lawyer if you have one. This is particularly
important because you don¶t have to rely on someone you scarcely know. You need
someone you can have confidence with. A good criminal defense attorney will
explain to you your rights while you are in police custody. Most of the ordinary
people know little or nothing about the rights of a suspect. An unscrupulous police
officer could take advantage of you. After all, ignorance of the law is no defense.
Your attorney will explain you all your rights so that you can take advantage of
them.

Another reason to have a criminal defense attorney is to bail you out incase you are
arrested. The conditions of bailing depend on the crime. Whatever the crime you
are suspected of, your attorney will scrutinize the facts and seek to get you a bail at
the easiest terms. He can even negotiate the bail amount in court. Having no
defense attorney puts you in a disadvantage. You are not likely to get the best
terms for the bail.
In case an offence is done against you, your lawyer is the best positioned to advice
you when and how to take a legal action. He will weigh the chances of winning the
suit and advise you accordingly. It is uneconomical to sue when you have poor
chances of success. Your criminal defense attorney will also prepare you
psychologically on what result to expect. Big surprises can cause trauma and stress
that can be detrimental to health. All this can be avoided by counsel of you
attorney.
