Defense Lawyers for Criminal Charges

How can a criminal defense attorney help me?

As your criminal defense lawyers, we handle all aspects of your case and prioritize your interests throughout the entire process. We know what’s at stake: your rights, your freedom and your financial well-being.

While every case is different, one thing in common is building a strong defense. We scrutinize the details and facts of your case, seek and reveal the weaknesses of the prosecution’s case and determine how to thwart issues of evidence being used against you. But beyond your defense or questioning witnesses in court, many do not understand the full benefit of having us on your side:

• Help you understand and cope: let’s face it, the legal system is complex, we can help you understand what you’re up against. We also know you may be scared of what can happen, that you might be embarrassed and that you need help to cope with the anxiety and stress as a result of the criminal charges against you.
• The reality of your situation: we provide an objective, knowledgeable and experienced perspective on what can really happen—what you may face if your case goes to trial. This is crucial if you are trying to decide whether to accept a plea bargain offer from the prosecution.
• Ability to Negotiate: negotiation is familiar territory and often necessary. Our experience with a type of case or a certain prosecutor may inform how far we can push to reduce a charge or lessen a sentence.
• Familiar turf: often there are “unwritten rules” to how a local court or procedure should go—the knowledge gained from experience in working with a particular prosecutor or judge’s courtroom. For example, it may be knowing what arguments typically appeal to the prosecutor or which prosecutor really makes the call to settle a case.
