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.
