Do I really need a criminal defense lawyer?

The following text is a transcript for the video above.

So you are wondering whether or not you should contact a lawyer if the police are making an investigation of a crime, and they are focusing on you as a possible suspect or they are focusing on you as a potential person of interest then you would probably want to contact a lawyer to protect yourself against those charges that may follow. The reason that you would want to contact a lawyer immediately rather than waiting for the charges is that once you get a lawyer involved on your side then that lawyer then contact the prosecution make a determination of what the charges may be, if any. Sometimes it's possible for the defense attorney to convince the prosecutor of insufficient evidence and that they shouldn't be bringing charges at all. Also it's possibly that with pre-trial discussions with the prosecution you can convince the prosecutor as to the strength of the charge. Maybe it shouldn't be as serious as they are contemplating. Maybe it's only a misdemeanor charge that should be brought. So the sooner that you contact a lawyer to investigate and to contact the prosecutor to negotiate whether or not they've even going to charge the case or whether they're going to charge it at a lesser offense the better off you're going to be whether there trying to defend against a more serious crime so the sooner that you contact an attorney hire a lawyer get them involved in the case the much better your odds and chances of successfully defending against those charges are.
