Step 1: Thorough Investigation of the Facts
Every case begins with a detailed investigation. We don’t take the police report at face value. Our team, including experienced criminal defense attorneys and professional investigators will:
Review all discovery and evidence provided by the prosecution
Interview witnesses and identify inconsistencies
Examine surveillance footage, 911 calls, phone records, and forensic reports
Visit the scene of the alleged incident, when necessary
We treat the facts as the foundation of your defense and we work to uncover every angle that can benefit you.
Step 2: Challenge the Prosecution’s Evidence
A key part of our defense strategy is to test the strength of the government’s case. We look for:
Illegal searches or seizures that may violate your Fourth Amendment rights
Improper interrogation techniques or Miranda violations
Unreliable witness statements or questionable identifications
Breakdowns in the chain of custody of physical evidence
If the prosecution’s evidence is weak or obtained unlawfully, we’ll file motions to suppress it or even move to dismiss the charges entirely.
Step 3: Understand Your Goals
No two clients are alike. Some are focused on clearing their name at trial. Others want to avoid jail time, keep a job, or protect their immigration status. We listen to you and shape our strategy around what matters most in your life.
That might mean:
Negotiating a favorable plea to avoid harsh penalties
Pushing for diversion programs or alternative sentencing
Taking your case to trial and holding the Commonwealth to its burden of proof
You are not just a case number to us, you’re a person with something at stake.
Step 4: Trial Readiness From Day One
We approach every case with the mindset that it may go to trial. Why? Because being prepared to try a case strengthens our position in negotiations and gives you the best shot at a favorable outcome. Our attorneys have decades of courtroom experience, including serious felony and homicide trials.
When trial is the right move, we don’t hesitate. We know how to build a compelling narrative, cross-examine government witnesses, and present your side of the story with power and clarity.
Step 5: Constant Communication and Transparency
Your defense strategy is not something we keep behind closed doors. We’ll explain:
What options you have
What risks you face
What steps we’re taking and why
You deserve to know where your case stands—and we make sure you do.
