Stockton Criminal Defense Attorney
Whether you are facing a misdemeanor or major criminal offense, a Stockton defense attorney is essential to protecting your rights and potentially having your charges dismissed or reduced.

The Importance of a Defense Attorney
One of the primary reasons you want to work with a criminal defense attorney in Stockton if you are facing criminal charges is to protect your rights. While a law enforcement officer will read you your rights, they may try to convince you there is no need to contact an attorney. Never subject yourself to any type of questioning without the benefit of legal help.
Even if you are charged with a DUI, and you have taken a breath test and failed, these tests are notoriously inaccurate, which can be caused by a system not being properly calibrated or because the officer administering the test has not been properly trained. Additionally, when it comes to misdemeanors, prosecutors may continue to investigate the charges against you and may try to file enhanced charges. You could also say something to a law enforcement officer which can be used against you later.
