"The purpose of a jury is to guard against the exercise of arbitrary power -- to make available the commonsense judgment of the community as a hedge against the over- zealous or mistaken prosecutor and in preference to the professional or perhaps overconditioned or biased response of a judge."
 
 -- Justice Byron White in

If you are accused of a crime or suspect you may be accused, it is critically important that you consult with an attorney.  It is also important to avoid discussing your case with anyone other than your attorney because anyone else can be compelled to testify as to what you said except your attorney.
 

Richard Hackerd has represented criminal defendants since 1991 and handles serious felony work.  A member of the major felonies panel of several Common Pleas courts, Mr. Hackerd has handled cases including aggravated robbery, kidnapping to rape and drug crimes.

The careful presentation of the defense theory of the case can influence every aspect of the criminal case from the charges brought by the government to the settlement negotiations.  Legal Counsel early and at every stage will always result in better outcomes.

Finally, a defense lawyer must be fearlessly willing to try every case and contest every aspect of the government's evidence.
