How we can help you
We are thoroughly familiar with all facets of federal and state criminal law and criminal defense. We use this deep knowledge and experience to assist you at each stage of the process. Depending on your particular circumstances, we may take one or more of the following actions to improve your position in the case:
- Work to get the charges against you dropped or reduced
- Interview police and other parties involved in the criminal situation to uncover lies or exaggerations
- Independently investigate the circumstances of the crime
- Search for and engage witnesses to the crime who may testify on your behalf
- Determine if any of the evidence against you was obtained illegally
- Bring in private investigators to uncover evidence in your favor
- Hire expert witnesses to strengthen defense arguments
- Negotiate with prosecutors to minimize the charges and consequences
Many criminal cases never go all the way to trial, but are settled out of court. We advise our clients on when the circumstances and potential consequences make a plea bargain a better alternative to going to trial.
