Why is it important that your criminal defense lawyer have a great track record with jury trials? If your case should go to a jury trial, the answer is obvious. He is more likely to win than a lawyer without the successful track record. The lawyer who has many times attained a not guilty verdict has more credibility with the prosecutors than the lawyer who has not established that kind of track record; hence, he will always be a stronger negotiator if a plea bargain is called for by the facts of the case. A strong reputation with the prosecutors for always being prepared and persuasive with juries is extremely important. Many criminal cases that the lawyers in James Law Group, LLC have prepared for trial have been dropped by the prosecutor just before trial because the trial preparation of James Law Group, LLC has convinced the prosecutor that the odds of conviction are not good.

The cases listed above are only examples of the success our lawyers have had in the courtroom. The criminal defense lawyers in our firm have tried approximately 250 jury trials resulting in many more not guilty verdicts than the ones listed here.

When you are considering a lawyer to defend you against charges brought against you by the state or federal government, you should be aware that many, many lawyers hold themselves out to be criminal defense attorneys who have never tried a criminal case to a jury and/or have never heard a “not guilty” verdict read. Choose wisely.
