Navigating the criminal justice system can be a frightening prospect. Studies and articles seem to regularly comment on the many failings of the criminal justice system — of it being “broken”, of there being too much delay, of trial dates too far into the future, of arbitrary arrest, and especially of uninformed clients pleading guilty without understanding the consequences.
