Your Best Defense in the 44th District Court in Royal Oak
Suppose you face a felony or misdemeanor criminal charge in Royal Oak. In that case, you want a Royal Oak criminal defense attorney who is an expert in criminal law, very familiar with the judges, and highly respected and known in the court.
The Royal Oak District Court is a part of the Oakland County courts system. Oakland County is known state-wide as one of the stricter counties in Michigan for crimes charged, plea bargaining, and sentencing. It is imperative that you have a reputable, highly experienced criminal defense attorney with you if you are charged with any crime. A defense attorney’s reputation with prosecutors and the judges can make all the difference in how favorably your case is resolved.
Is Getting a Court-Appointed Attorney in Royal Oak a Good Option?
There are some good court-appointed attorneys in Royal Oak, and some defendants have no choice but to get a court-appointed attorney due to economic factors. However, it is highly recommended to retain a private attorney. Court-appointed attorneys rely upon the judges to appoint them. In some cases, a court-appointed attorney may not wish to push all legitimate defense arguments too hard for fear of alienating the judge by making the judge work harder and address all legitimate arguments. A court-appointed attorney is typically interested in a quick settlement of the matter through a plea bargain. A quick resolution may be in a court-appointed lawyer’s best interest but may not be in your best interest.
You should also retain an attorney for a Royal Oak case if at all possible because a court-appointed attorney will never have the same resources available to fight the charges entirely. In other words, they won’t have the necessary resources to hire experts, interview all witnesses, file motions, and perform other critical functions that a reputable, top-rated attorney will always perform. The court-appointed lawyer will not be assigned until your case goes to court instead of a good retained lawyer who will take considerable time and effort to prepare for your case before entering the courtroom.
