The defense attorney's task is to establish a relationship of trust with the accused and to represent him to the best of his abilities. The defense attorney is important because the majority of people do not understand the legal procedures and laws that govern the decision-making process. For this reason, the defense attorney is responsible for proving to the judge (or jury, if applicable) that there is reasonable doubt about the evidence, testimony, and arguments presented against a defendant while respecting the law and procedures (Defense Function).,
