A Fort Worth TX criminal defense lawyer, for state and federal charges, can explain whether it is in your best interest to testify at your trial. Not testifying cannot be used against you.
Support Your Defense
In some cases, your testimony may help bolster your defense. Jurors will likely want to hear your side of the story and may weigh this against other evidence in the case.
Cross-Examination
Cross-examination can be difficult for the best witness. The prosecutor may ask you questions that you were not prepared to answer.
