The ultimate weapon in a criminal defense lawyer's toolkit is the threat of taking your case to a jury. Ultimately, the vast majority of all cases are resolved without trial. However, only a lawyer with enough trial experience to convince a prosecutor to reconsider his case can credibly use this threat to your advantage.
Keep in mind that all of my trial experience is in DEFENDING those accused of crime--I have never been a prosecutor whose role in trial is very different than that of a defender.
