You have the right to plead "not guilty" and to have a trial where the State must prove your guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. And you have the right to be represented at each stage by an attorney. Always remember that a prosecutor will represent the state's best interest, not yours. So who represents your interests when you are charged with an offense? Christoffersen Law Firm.
