Kevin A. Hogle, Esq. http://southerncaliforniacriminalattorney.com/index.html Our firm understands that the truth is rarely pure and never simple, particularly when criminal charges are levied against a person by the government. The accused, whether guilty or innocent of the alleged offense, stands upon unequal ground to answer those charges when faced against police, prosecutors, sophisticated crime labs, and experts. With liberty, work, reputation, and livelihood at stake, the accused needs to find the right attorney to zealously represent them.If you are charged with a crime in Southern California, then you need a criminal defense attorney who can level the playing field against the government. How is this accomplished? The answer is simple, but not as often utilized: 1. Communication: <ul><li>Your attorney must be available to discuss your case with you in detail. This doesn’t mean that you meet once in the office to pay the bill and sign the retainer, but then never hear from them again. This means that there has to be a constant open line of communication between the two of you. The circumstances of criminal cases change frequently, and informed decisions are made only through effective discussion and aforethought.</li></ul> 2. Knowledge: <ul><li>Your attorney must have a firm grasp of the facts. Using those facts, your attorney must know the applicable laws, possible defenses, and possible consequences of your case. Using this knowledge, your attorney can then advise you about your case in a meaningful and thoughtful manner.</li></ul> 3. Goal setting: <ul><li>Once the facts and legal aspects of the case are determined, it becomes time to set goals. Goals change often throughout the course of a criminal proceeding, but usually involve either resolving the case or taking it to trial. Once these goals are defined, your attorney and you decide how to proceed in the most appropriate fashion.</li></ul> 4. Preparation: <ul><li>Using communication, knowledge, and goal setting, your attorney then needs to prepare your case in a manner that helps achieve your goals. This requires creative thinking, hard work, and thorough preparation. Only once this is accomplished can your goals be achieved.</li></ul> 5. Resolution:<ul><li>If a suitable solution that achieves your goals has been negotiated by your attorney, then your case is ready to resolve. You will know you have made an informed decision because your attorney has completed all of the above steps, and you will be comfortable that this resolution is your best option. Thus, your goal is accomplished. </li><li>If the goal is to take the case to trial, then the case proceeds to trial. You need an attorney that is willing to not only try the case, but also to implement all of the above steps. Then, and only then, will you be comfortable resting your liberty and fate in the hands of your attorney. Outcomes can never be guaranteed by any attorney, but success can never be accomplished without an attorney willing to go through these steps to fight for you.</li></ul>Kevin Hogle is an attorney that will take all steps necessary to vigorously defend you in your time of need.
