The best and most effective defense begins before charges are brought against you in court. If you believe that criminal charges are about to be filed against you, it is always to your benefit to speak with a reputable criminal defense attorney. We will review your case and work to discover evidence that may be used to your advantage before charges are filed. After carefully screening your case, our criminal defense lawyers may be able to present substantial evidence to prosecutors that will dissuade them from filing criminal charges against you.
We have a nationally-recognized private investigator in our law firm, dedicated to helping our clients immediately before criminal charges are filed in court. He and his team of investigative specialists track down defense witnesses, and evidence often before the police does. The resulting pre-filing investigation and intervention efforts have led to tremendous results, including detained clients being released without the filing of criminal charges in court. In other words, the police initially had probable cause to arrest, but charges were not filed because the prosecutor reviewed the defense evidence and decided not to proceed with a criminal prosecution.
Pre-Filing Criminal Defence success is very significant for our clients’ future because an arrest, without filed charges in court, means under law that a person can report on a job or licensing application that he or she has never been arrested. The following are recent examples of successful criminal defence before court.
- Statutory Rape: 12 felony charges dropped after client arrested
- Rape – all felony charges dropped after police reports filed
- Assault with a Deadly Weapon – No charges filed after client arrested
- Child Molestation – investigation culminates in no charges being filed
