Honest Advice About Options and Strategies
If you are charged with a crime, there are several steps we will go through with you in order to protect your rights and help you decide what course of action to take.
First, we will examine the charges against you to see if there are any technical defects in them. For instance, the statute of limitations for certain crimes gives prosecutors a limited amount of time to file charges against you.
Second, we will review all available evidence. We will collect evidence in support of your defense and examine the prosecutors' evidence to see if any of it can be legally challenged or discredited. We will also hire expert witnesses if necessary.
Once we have fully examined the charges and the evidence, we will give you an honest assessment of what you are up against and what strategies are available for your criminal defense.
It is up to you to decide whether to try to negotiate a plea bargain with the prosecutor or go to trial. We will not pressure you, either way we will be fully prepared to represent your interests.
Appeal or Challenge Your Conviction
We also have experience helping clients who want to appeal a criminal conviction. If your appeals options have already been exhausted, we may also be able to help you mount a post-conviction challenge if your civil or constitutional rights were violated.
