The lawyer who promises a particular result in a criminal case is either a liar or a fool. You do not want to be represented by either one.No lawyer, no matter how good, is in a position to promise a particular result in a criminal case. Lawyers can promise to do their best. Lawyers can believe in the quality of a case. Lawyers can believe they will probably be able to get a particular result. But a competent lawyer will never guarantee a particular result.Not being willing to guarantee a result is not a sign of weakness, it is a sign of experience and wisdom. The problem is that the bottom line result is ultimately in the hands of other people NOT THE LAWYER.A judge and/or a prosecutor or a jury must act in order to resolve any criminal case. It is impossible to guarantee the actions of other people. Judges have been known to make mistakes.Prosecutors have been known to make mistakes. Juries have been known to make mistakes. Therefore, a competent lawyer will never be able guarantee a particular result.
