Criminal defense requires a strategic approach from the moment of arrest through the resolution of your case. Here's how we fight for our clients at every stage:
When you call our 24/7 line, we provide immediate legal advice. We review the circumstances of your arrest, discuss what charges you're facing and advise you on protecting your rights. This often includes guidance on not making statements to police without an attorney present.
We investigate every detail of your case. This includes reviewing police reports, interviewing witnesses, examining physical evidence and looking for constitutional violations like illegal searches or lack of probable cause for the arrest.
Before trial, we file motions to suppress illegally obtained evidence, challenge the sufficiency of charges and attack weaknesses in the prosecution's case. Many cases are won or significantly improved during the pre-trial stage.
We negotiate with prosecutors to pursue reduced charges, diversion programs or favorable plea agreements when appropriate. Our goal is always to achieve the best possible outcome for your specific situation.
If your case goes to trial, we prepare an aggressive trial defense. This includes selecting a favorable jury, cross-examining prosecution witnesses, presenting defense evidence and holding the prosecution to their burden of proving guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
Even after conviction or sentencing, options may exist. We can file appeals, pursue sentence modifications or seek other post-conviction relief to protect your rights and minimize the impact of a conviction.
Some people think they can handle criminal charges on their own or accept whatever plea deal the prosecutor offers. This is a serious mistake. Here's why hiring an experienced criminal defense attorney matters:
