Most people are never sure whether to confide in their lawyers when they are guilty, fearing failing to get represented. However, the truth is that a lawyer is obliged to represent any client, both presumed guilty or innocent.
It’s not in the lawyer’s position to determine whether the accused is guilty. They are never even sure if the accused has provided the total truth in most cases. Therefore, the lawyer must mount a vigorous defense and allow the judge and the jury the power to pass the accused as either guilty or innocent.
