Most people believe in America you are innocent until proven guilty. Although this is a legal concept, it’s not necessarily a practical one. You are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law, but that doesn’t mean a prosecutor will give you that same benefit of doubt when trying to convict you. When it comes to identity theft, prosecutors presume you are guilty until you are able to prove your innocence. That’s why you need an aggressive, dedicated criminal defense attorney to take your side.
