Why Hire a Former Prosecutor as Your Lawyer?

Posted By Jerry Loftin & Associates || 10-Apr-2018

When you’re searching for experienced legal counsel after being charged with a criminal offense, the best individual for the task is a criminal defense lawyer with previous prosecution experience.

A prosecutor is an attorney who files criminal charges against an individual or group on behalf of the government. Prosecutors are responsible for collecting and presenting all evidence in a case in an attempt to convince a jury or judge that the defendant is guilty.

The following are the major advantages of having a former prosecutor working on your case:

  • Thorough understanding of both sides of the courtroom - The experience on “both sides of the fence” is the main reason a former prosecutor is a more appealing option. He or she is familiar with how the prosecution obtains related evidence, determines which charges to file, and build their case to go to trial. There, the lawyer can anticipate the prosecution’s argument, giving you an advantage in the courtroom.
  • Extensive courtroom litigation experience - Did you know nearly all legal cases will settle without going to trial? Which means only the most difficult cases, such as yours, end up going into the courtroom. Most lawyers spend most of their career negotiating settlements, as opposed to protecting the rights and future of their clients in front of a jury or judge. A former prosecutor has an extensive knowledge of the jury trial process in order to guide you through the complexities of your case.
  • Familiar with the decision history of the local court - An experienced former prosecutor will have tried numerous cases in local court and has developed close relationships with various courtroom personnel. He or she may know the biases of a particular judge and how that judge has often decided in prior cases. This will help your lawyer determine whether or not you should go to trial or accept a plea bargain.

At Jerry Loftin & Associates, one of our attorneys, Trent Loftin, had worked in Tarrant County as a former prosecutor for the District Attorney for several years. With his experience and insight, he can evaluate your case, determine all of the available legal options, and develop an effective defense strategy in order to help you get the best results possible.
