Criminal charges usually come with some severe penalties. If you're found guilty, you can end up paying heavy fines, or in some instances, you'll do some prison time. Such punishments can be life-changing. Fortunately, by hiring a criminal defense attorney, you can significantly minimize your charges. According to the Bureau of Justice Assistance, 90 to 95% of criminal cases settle. This is usually the work of experienced criminal attorneys. Here's how a criminal defense attorney can reduce your charges.

Investigate the Case

Negotiate With Prosecutors

Get Charges Dropped or Dismissed

There are several ways a criminal defense attorney can get the charges against you dropped. This is usually done by proving that the evidence against you was gathered in a way that goes against the collection rules. That makes the evidence inadmissible in court, which makes it impossible for the prosecutors to win. If the prosecution knows that the charge will not stick, they have no option but to drop it.


Skilled attorneys can use several methods to reduce the charges against you. If you're lucky and there are many loopholes in your case, the charges may even be dropped altogether. Are you facing criminal charges and need help fighting them? Get in touch with us today at the Law Office of Kevin MacKay. We would love to help you out.
