Interesting title. You defend "criminals"? What exactly is the definition of "criminal"? I used to think a criminal was and individual who broke the law. By simple logic, therefore, you defend people who broke the law.
Maybe you should call yourself a "wrongly accused" defense attorney.
Actually that would be less accurate. Most of the people I represent are guilty of at least part of what they were charged with. Some are entirely wrongfully accused, but those are in the minority. I suppose I could say I'm an attorney for people accused of committing crimes who in some cases are wrongfully accused but that's a mouthful. Or maybe I could call myself an attorney for persons presumed innocent? I don't know. I didn't make up the "criminal defense attorney" moniker.
