My son was in a fight and arrested pending the investigation. Can a public defender do the job in representing him? Or do I need a specialist? (I wonder if the public defenders are overworked and underpaid).

Jeralyn Elise Merritt
Answered by attorney Jeralyn Elise Merritt (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Jeralyn E. Merritt
Public defenders are specialists. They represent people charged with crime every day. They are experienced at evaluating cases, investigating them and negotiating plea bargains. If your son wants to take the case to trial, they are skilled trial attorneys. Public defenders can be overworked and they are definitely underpaid. They know this will be the case before they accept the job. They become accustomed to their caseload and efficient at handling it. They also receive assistance when needed from other lawyers and support personnel in their office. Public defenders are not only qualified and experienced attorneys, they are among the profession's most dedicated lawyers. We are lucky to live in a country that provides such skilled counsel at no charge to those who can't afford counsel. If your son qualifies financially for a public defender, I would go that route. If a problem develops in their relationship later on, you can always seek out private counsel at that point.

Is there any way to get a bad check off my record so when a background check is done it does not show?

Answered by attorney Robert Jason De Groot (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at R. Jason de Groot, P.A.
This is the sort of thing that happens when people represent themselves without knowing all of the consequences. I doubt that a criminal defense attorney can help you at this stage, but you will need to go see one to be sure.
