2. Introduction
• Eduardo Paredes hosts a daily call-in radio show through which he answers
questions on immigration law. Aside from his on-air work, Eduardo
Paredes is a solo attorney who represents clients in immigration and
criminal cases.
Criminal defendants need to work with their lawyers to create a criminal
defense strategy that will sway the judge or jury to find in their favor.
Defendants who are open to their attorneys and tell the truth are better
positioned to create a winning defense. When a defendant is open about
what happened, the attorney will be able to anticipate the prosecutor’s
strategy and develop an appropriate defense.
For example, if a prosecutor alleges that a defendant was at the scene when
the crime occurred, a defense attorney who is knowledgeable of all the facts
will have prepared a defense that shows the defendant was actually at a
different location. If a prosecutor alleges the defendant committed murder
willfully, the defense attorney can bring evidence to show the act was in
self-defense.

3. Criminal Defense
• This is not to say, however, that the defendant and his or her attorney
should lie or subvert the truth. The two should only work together to
present a narrative that is favorable to the defendant without misleading
the court.a
The role of the attorney is to advocate on behalf of his or her client. Thus, a
defendant in a criminal case is better suited when the client cooperates in
the investigation of their case, as well as in the manner in which the case is
presented to the jury.
Attorney Eduardo Paredes has obtained NOT GUILTY VERDICTS for
clients accused of serious offenses which, in some cases, would have
required lifetime registration as a sex or narcotics offender. In other cases,
the possible sentence was life in prison. Attorney Eduardo Paredes is able to
obtain a favorable jury verdict by thoroughly reviewing the facts of the case,
whilst eliminating any possibility that a jury or judge will attempt to
substitute their own assumptions in rendering a verdict.

4. Conclusion
• An accused may think that it will never be possible to successfully
defend themselves when they are charged with a crime, however, the
accused must understand that though the prosecutor will argue that
the accused is guilt, the defendant need not prove that they are
INNOCENT, but that the evidence does not rise to the level where
the accusations are proven by the prosecutor beyond a reasonable
doubt. As such, it is extremely important to review the evidence and
the manner in which it was obtained in order to successfully defend
a defendant in criminal court.
