Right now, there is significant prejudice against those that have been accused of a crime. It's not at all like what they teach you in school; the presumption of innocence is kind of a myth.
Stacie Bilyeu, Criminal Defense Attorney
With nearly 35 years dedicated to law, Bilyeu brings a wealth of knowledge to her industry, and, in particular to her area of specialization, criminal law. When asked why she decided to pursue a career in law, Bilyeu said:
"I have always had a strong sense of justice, and I've always wanted to stand up against bullies, fight for the little guy, make a difference in the world. But being a prosecutor is akin to shooting fish in a barrel. You've got all the power, and I saw how unfair it was for the accused. It became very clear to me that if I really wanted to make a difference and use my skills where they were needed, I had to switch sides. Now I’m like David to the Goliath—I’ve got my little slingshot, but it works, and I’m not afraid to use it."
Based in Springfield, Bilyeu has dedicated her career to defending the rights of the criminally accused in matters ranging from white collar crimes to felonies such as murder, drug charges, and sexual assault, as well as misdemeanors such as DWI and other lower level criminal charges.
As a thought leader in her field, Bilyeu maintains a unique vantage point on prevailing trends in criminal defense. In particular, she notes that in recent years things have gotten much harder for the criminally accused:
"Right now, there is significant prejudice against those that have been accused of a crime. It's not at all like what they teach you in school; the presumption of innocence is kind of a myth. The current state of our law seems to be bent against individual freedom. What I'm seeing isn't good, which is all the more reason to stay in the fight."
