They work to protect the rights and interests of their clients, and to ensure that they receive a fair trial. Some of the specific tasks that a criminal defense lawyer may perform include:

• Investigating the case to gather evidence and build a defense strategy

• Negotiating with prosecutors to reduce or dismiss charges

• Representing clients in court

• Advising clients on their rights and options
