Criminal Lawyer
Q.What exactly is a criminal lawyer? Like, what situations do they handle? And could you give me an example of a situation that I would go through if I was a criminal lawyer?
A.Two uses of the phrase. The obvious "lawyer who IS a criminal" is the least common, but the most well known. You don't want to be that. The more common is actually "criminal defense lawyer", meaning someone who does criminal defense work. In any prosecution in the US, and most other countries with a criminal justice system, there are two lawyers -- the prosecutor, who tries to prove the defendant is guilty, and the defense attorney who represents the defendant. The goal of a criminal defense attorney, like all attorneys, is to get the best possible outcome for their client. This could include plea bargaining for better sentences or better facilities, getting medical or psychiatric treatment instead of or in addition to prison, or getting the client acquitted on the charges if possible.
