Proactive and Aggressive Defense Attorneys
If you are under investigation for an alleged crime, there is so much at stake. A negative outcome could have life-long effects on your rights, reputation, and future. Fortunately, our seasoned attorneys could proactively begin an investigation into the alleged offense and gather and present evidence supporting your defense to law enforcement. If charges are unavoidable, we could negotiate with prosecutors in an attempt to settle the matter before ever having to go to court. If an agreement cannot be reached, we could aggressively argue your case at trial. Time is of the essence during a criminal investigation. It is essential to immediately seek legal representation to minimize any negative consequences and keep you out of jail.
Should I Defend Myself Against the Charges Against Me?
Often, individuals believe they can successfully represent themselves against criminal charges. However, it is typically not a good idea to fight the charges against you without skilled and reputable legal representation. A defendant may self-incriminate in an attempt to tell their side of the story to authorities, or they may accept a deal offered by the prosecution that is not in their best interest because they did not fully understand the specifics and their consequences. Additionally, most individuals also do not have adequate knowledge of the law or legal procedure to represent themselves effectively.
This is why it is absolutely essential to have a local defense attorney assist you through every step of the criminal case process. Our skilled legal team could be present during any interviews with law enforcement to ensure you do not provide any information that supports their case against you. We could also thoroughly analyze the terms of a deal offered by the District Attorney to advise you of both the immediate and long-term benefits and consequences.
If the offer is unacceptable, our team could proceed to negotiate to obtain an acceptable resolution on your behalf. Lastly, if negotiations do not resolve the matter, our extensive knowledge of the law and court proceedings could help us effectively present your case to the judge or jury. There is too much at stake to go about it on your own. Our skilled attorneys could be there every step of the way to ensure your rights are being protected and help you fight for your freedom, dignity, and future.
