How We Address Your Immediate Concerns

When criminal charges arise, the clock starts ticking on critical deadlines such as the statute of limitations and arraignment dates. We focus on:

  • Protecting Your Rights Early. From the initial arrest through trial, we ensure your constitutional rights are upheld, including protection against unlawful searches and seizures, and the right to legal counsel.
  • Assessing the Charges and Evidence. We carefully review the prosecution’s case, identifying weaknesses or procedural errors that can be leveraged to reduce or dismiss charges.
  • Negotiating with Prosecutors. In many cases, negotiating plea agreements or alternative sentencing options can mitigate the impact of charges.
  • Preparing for Trial. If your case proceeds to trial, we develop a defense strategy tailored to the facts and circumstances of your case.
