The Duties of a Criminal Defense Lawyer

Cris Arguedas, the renowned California defense lawyer, links on her law firm’s website to an outstanding article that she wrote some years ago in which she describes what are, and what are not, the duties of a criminal defense lawyer. I strongly urge everyone who is interested in the justice process, as well as those considering a career as a defense lawyer, to read the article. Cris is not only a superb lawyer, but a passionate and eloquent spokesperson for the work that we do.
