For bacterial pneumonia, doctors prescribe antibiotics. Viral pneumonia doesn't respond to antibiotics, so treatment may be limited to rest and fluids. In fact, getting enough fluids is vital to fight the dehydration from rapid breathing and fever that's often a side effect of pneumonia.
The defense attorney's role is of paramount importance in almost every criminal case. From arraignment to sentencing: investigating facts and evidence, cross-examining government witnesses, objecting to improper questions and evidence, and presenting any legal defenses.
The lawyer in this duty will speak on behalf of the client and advise the client on how to proceed. As stated earlier, the role of a lawyer is not simply to appear in court and argue passionately on behalf of the client.
