Three Common Misconceptions About Criminal Defense Lawyers

 The goal of this post is to debunk some common misconceptions about criminal lawyers in Dubai.

Are you thinking about going to court without a lawyer because you believe you'll have a better chance if you go it alone? Do you have any bad stereotypes regarding criminal defense attorneys? If you do, you may have been influenced by someone who has either had a bad experience or just presented you with false information, the consequences of which might have a detrimental impact on your criminal case, especially if you are considering not seeking legal assistance.

The first misconception regarding criminal lawyers in UAE is that they are as good as public defenders. You may immediately learn the facts by asking anyone who has had a public defender and someone who has paid for criminal defense. While some public defenders are concerned about their clients' cases, many are not, which is why, if you are charged with a crime, you should carefully consider a solid defense, which should involve legal representation.

Another misconception regarding criminal lawyers in UAE is that any lawyer can handle such matters. This legend is completely false. Having a family lawyer handle your criminal case not only makes no logic, but it also makes no sense. However, any professional attorney would not take on a case that is outside of his or her area of competence.

The third misconception regarding criminal lawyers in UAE is that they will have your record wiped if it is applicable. Again, this is untrue. Having your criminal record wiped is a separate process, and it is your responsibility to enquire about record expungement once your criminal defense lawyer has completed your case. Furthermore, not all criminal defense lawyers are familiar with the procedure of record expungement; as a result, you may need to seek further legal assistance.
