Starting With Your Side of the Story

When charged with a crime, it can feel as though nobody is interested in listening to your side of the story, not police and not criminal prosecutors. We are. When you choose us to handle your case, you will be able to tell your side of the story to an experienced lawyer. We use that as our starting point, moving forward with an investigation of the facts.

Investigation is critical. We want to find out what is in the police report. What did the alleged victim say? Is the alleged victim’s word even credible? Were there any witnesses? If they have not already made statements, we will find them and get their accounts of the event in question. Were informants involved? Search warrants? Wire taps? Sometimes our investigations reveal that an illegal search and seizure took place. This revelation can lead to evidence being discarded or cases being dismissed entirely.
