Why You Need An Experienced Criminal Defense Attorney
Anyone accused of a crime on Long Island is presumed innocent until proven guilty. But prosecutors have an unfair advantage and pursue convictions aggressively. Our seasoned criminal defense attorneys know how to level the playing field and will mount a vigorous defense. By weighing the strength of the evidence against you and understanding the facts, we will choose the best approach.
A well-conceived defense strategy involves careful preparation and a thorough investigation. The first step is obtaining and poring over the police report/accusatory instrument and all discovery to determine if law enforcement made mistakes or engaged in misconduct. Suppose the police failed to Mirandize you before interrogating you or they obtained evidence without a valid search warrant.
In that case, we could ask the court to suppress the evidence and dismiss the case. As your matter proceeds, we will look for and exploit other weaknesses in the prosecution’s case. By collaborating with our network of criminal investigators and forensic experts, we will evaluate and challenge the validity of evidence.
We know our way around the courtroom and are highly adept at making persuasive oral arguments. If there is no path to an acquittal, we pivot and seek to have the charges and penalties reduced through plea negotiations or explore the potential of a diversion program.
No matter the charges against you, you can depend on us to work in your best interests and protect your rights. Our job is not to prove your innocence; the prosecution must prove your guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
