Taking Your Case to Trial
If your case proceeds to trial, our attorneys will be thoroughly prepared to provide a vigorous defense on your behalf. To protect your rights, we ask questions critical to your defense: Did the police have a right to stop your vehicle? Did the officer properly administer the Breathalyzer test? Were any of your constitutional rights violated?
In every case, we thoroughly prepare for the possibility of trial. Our thorough trial preparation lets prosecutors know that we are prepared to take the case to trial if they are not willing to make a reasonable plea offer. In cases that go to trial, our thorough trial preparation enables us to provide an aggressive and vigorous defense.
Resolutions to Your Case Before Trial
Although we prepare every case as though it will go to trial, many of our cases are resolved by a plea agreement to a reduced charge. Our criminal defense team consists of three attorneys who have all served as former prosecutors. As former prosecutors, we understand how judges and prosecutors think in these cases. We understand how to present your case to best protect your rights and achieve your desired outcome.
Having an attorney who understands how best to present mitigating evidence, character evidence and efforts at rehabilitation is essential if you want to obtain the best possible results. People representing themselves often make critical errors in their representation based on mistaken assumptions about judges and prosecutors. Some people, for example, assume that it is a mistake to seek alcohol treatment or attend AA meetings if they have been charged with drinking and driving. This is incorrect. We assist our clients in taking affirmative steps to be viewed favorably by the court.
