Why Hire a Former Prosecutor
When you are entangled with the criminal justice system, it will be entirely necessary to secure the best legal defense possible. There are two types of criminal defense attorneys, those who have worked as a former prosecuting attorney and those who have not. Naturally, an attorney with previous experience working for the “other side” of the law will have an intimate knowledge of how the prosecution thinks and acts, whereas an attorney, who has not worked as a former prosecutor, would not have access to the same level of knowledge or wisdom merely because they have not personally worked as a prosecutor themselves.
He is a former prosecutor who knows the ins and the outs of the criminal justice system. He applies his exclusive experience as a former prosecutor to his criminal defense cases because he knows how to maximize his experience to the full extent of the law. This well-rounded knowledge of both “sides of the fence” allows him to work his case from both angles. He understands what weaknesses to look for in a prosecutor’s case and he can use those weaknesses to his client’s advantage when negotiating or when in court.

When you are selecting an attorney to represent you in possibly the greatest challenge of your life, you’re going to want to choose someone who had a successful career as a prosecuting attorney before entering the field of criminal defense. Knowledge is power and only an attorney with prior experience as a prosecutor would have an edge over the prosecution. When it’s your future and your liberty that is at stake, you can’t afford to choose someone who lacks experience working on both sides of the law.
