When you work with a criminal defense lawyer, you should expect your attorney to explore every reasonable resource, consider every potentially effective strategy and prepare for every conceivable option in your case. Your attorney should handle your case as though they were handling the case of a good friend or a loved one. At the Savannah, Georgia, office of Jarrett Maillet we take your case personally. We are aggressive, experienced and passionate about providing the highest quality service for our clients. Our Savannah criminal attorney makes it a priority to be upfront, honest and forthright, and it is his commitment to client service that builds the foundation of our office.
Unlike some firms, when you hire Jarrett Maillet to represent you, you will not be handed off to a junior associate or paralegal. Attorney Maillet will work directly with you and will even provide you with his personal cell phone number so that you have constant, direct access to your lawyer.

What A Criminal Defense Attorney Will Do For You
A lawyer may be contacted directly or a court may appoint a private lawyer.
The lawyer will gather as many details about the case to learn about possible defenses, strengths, and weaknesses.
The lawyer will typically question the police, speak with witnesses, and gather information used to build a strong defense.
The lawyer must study the facts and theories of the case carefully.
A lawyer will communicate often with their client, ensuring confidentiality, to provide information about the case so that they understand the possible consequences.
A lawyer is involved in the jury selection process. This means he or she may have jurors removed if they believe they may be biased against the defendant.
A lawyer is responsible for negotiating with the prosecutor regarding any plea bargain. He or she may be able to secure a favorable deal for the defendant, which results in a reduction of charges.
A lawyer examines witnesses, cross-examines the state’s witnesses, and tries to convince the jury that the prosecution failed to find the burden of proof.
If the criminal defendant is sentenced for the crime, a criminal defense lawyer can still represent the defendant during the sentencing phase. He or she may try to convince the judge or jury to limit the amount of time that the defendant serves and discuss alternatives to incarceration.
