In the United States, the vast majority of criminal defendants (over 90%) plead guilty. This might make you think criminal defense attorneys aren't that important. However, there's more to the story!

Here's why criminal defense attorneys are still crucial:

Negotiation: A skilled defense attorney can negotiate with prosecutors for a lesser charge or a reduced sentence, potentially avoiding jail time altogether.

Suppression of Evidence: Defense attorneys can challenge the way evidence was obtained by the police. If it wasn't collected legally, it may be thrown out of court, weakening the prosecution's case.

Uncovering Innocence: Sometimes, people are wrongly accused. A thorough defense attorney can investigate the case and uncover new evidence that proves the defendant's innocence.

So, while most defendants plead guilty, a good criminal defense attorney can still make a significant difference in the outcome of a case.

Contributory negligence is a legal doctrine that affects personal injury cases. Unlike many other states that have adopted a comparative negligence system, North Carolina follows the contributory negligence rule. Under this rule, if a plaintiff is found to have contributed in any way, even minimally, to their own injury, they may be barred from recovering damages from the defendant. Learn more at
