I wonder if a criminal defense attorney can completely exonerate his or her client in court. I have heard that criminal cases often depend not only on the skill of the lawyer but also on many other factors, such as evidence and witnesses. I want to know how realistic it is to expect a full acquittal in court.

Exonerating a completely innocent person in court can be very difficult. Nevertheless, a criminal defense attorney can use his or her experience and knowledge to reduce his or her client's sentence or to get a suspended sentence instead of a real sentence. In addition, an attorney can use his or her knowledge to appeal a court decision if it was unjust.
I think a complete acquittal in court is very rarely possible. A criminal lawyer can use all available methods to defend his client, but it is the court, not the lawyer, who decides. In addition, even if the lawyer believes that the client is completely innocent, the court may come to a different conclusion based on the evidence and the law. Ottawa Criminal Lawyers do everything they can to exonerate a person. as it is their job and responsibility. But it really is very difficult to completely exonerate a person in court.
