Mounting a Strong Defense by Carefully Examining Your Situation
To help you mount the most effective defense possible, we will conduct a thorough examination of your charges, the events leading to your arrest, and the actions of police officers during and after your arrest. Any information found during this examination can then be used to apply pressure on the prosecution to reduce or dismiss your charges. This information can also be invaluable in proving your case during a trial. We will also insure that, where such an application for pretrial intervention or conditional discharge is warranted, that it is crafted so as to insure the best opportunity for admission into these programs.
Useful information can be gained by answering any of the following questions:
- What were the reasons behind your initial stop?
- Did officers conduct a legal search?
- Were all police procedures adhered to throughout the investigation and after your arrest?
- Were any of your rights violated during or after your arrest?
- Can officers truly prove that the controlled substance was in your personal possession?
