(USGovernment-News.Com, April 06, 2013 ) Albuquerque, NM -- BFDLawyers.com recently launched a new info-graphic on the effectiveness of private attorneys for cases and litigation. With crucial facts and figures, this informative piece is simply vital for anyone seeking professional legal representation. The infographic clearly explains the benefits of private lawyers, as opposed to legal public defenders. According to the infographic, private lawyers have higher acquittal rates than public defenders. They also have more success when it comes to plea bargains, case dismissals, and shorter prison sentences for convicted defendants.
The infographic also states that defendants with private attorneys are 2.7X more likely to be granted bail. Additional research also shows that 88% of defendants sentenced to prison in Federal courts were defended by public defenders. This is higher than the 77% of defendants that were represented by private attorneys. In state court, 71% of publicly defended clients were sentenced to prison, while only 54% of clients with private lawyers were sentenced to prison. This proves the effectiveness of private lawyers over public defenders in both Federal and state court.
The infographic goes on to state that the average sentence of clients represented by public defenders are three years longer than those represented by private lawyers. Private attorneys also seem to maintain an edge in U.S. District courts as well. In fact, private lawyers have been able to get 63% of regulatory offenses dismissed or terminated in court. This includes public intoxication, speeding and other small charges or misdemeanors. In comparison, public defenders were only able to get 16.9% of these cases dismissed or terminated.
Private attorneys have also been able to get 35.8% of drug offenses dismissed, while public defenders were only able to get 21.7% of these cases terminated. Private attorneys have also been able to secure higher dismissal rates for property and public order offenses as well. According to the infographic, defendants with private lawyers have also been able to secure greater chances of “pretrial releases.” In fact, recent figures show that 79% of clients were able to get pre-trial released, as opposed to only 52.2% via public defenders.
Whether for bankruptcy, personal injury claims, or other legal matters, private attorneys clearly outshine public defenders at every turn. For anyone seeking legal advice or representation in court, the infographic simply proves that private lawyers are more effective and thorough in representing their clients. Private attorneys also fight for the legal rights of their clients, and work with them every step of the way to ensure favorable and timely outcomes.
