General Fiction – Criminal defense attorney Harrison J. Walker, better known as Jaywalker, has just been suspended for using creative tactics and receiving gratitude in the courtroom … – Tenth Case (Books)
My law professor, is an ex prosecutor, and now a defense lawyer. I have asked him many questions about defending murders and rapist, and does that effect him. He states he cannot let it, in order to do his job correctly. Personally, I do not think I could defend a client that I knew murdered or raped someone. This is just me though. My question is as LEO’s do you tend to have a negative perspective of defense lawyers? Especially, the one that defend heinous criminals?
Absolutely not, everyone that is arrested is entitled to a competent representation under the United States Constitution, and LEO’s know that defense attorneys are just doing their job, like the LEO is.
The attorneys that LEO’s tend to dislike are the sneaky attorneys that bend the law to the point of breaking it in representing their client.
How would you feel if you were accused of a heinous crime and couldn’t find an attorney to represent you? Or if someone framed you for a crime that you didn’t commit. And an attorney wouldn’t represent you because of the crime that you had committed.
Attorney’s who defend people convicted of heinous crimes are often appointed by the Court because the defendant cannot afford legal representation, and in doing so, they must separate the person from the crime, they are accused of committing, and defend that person to the best of their ability. That is why in most jurisdictions, death penalty cases are required to be tried with 2 defense attorneys for the accused. This because of the added burden of the death penalty.

We from Philippines are planning to file an ERISA case in California, can US provide us free lawyer?
We cannot afford a US lawyer, and the case to be is of course in U.S. We have a relative there who can assist us. What can we do? Anybody please help.
The government only provides legal assistance in criminal matters, for US citizens, when one can not be afforded. Depending on the nature of the suit, perhaps a non-profit will assist, I don’t know enough about your claim to point you towards a specific one.
