The possible consequences might be harsh, but working with an experienced criminal defense attorney will greatly improve your situation. Our goal will always be to have your charges dismissed, either through negotiation or pre-trial motions. If the charges cannot be completely dismissed, we will work to have them reduced or mitigated because a single incident should not define your life.
Review your case with our attorneys. We’ll listen to what happened, determine how we can help, and offer guidance. If you decide to move forward, we’ll start working. If you decide not to hire us, that’s ok. There is no cost or obligation.
Prosecutors do not move forward with every arrest. By taking an aggressive stance early with help from a criminal defense lawyer, and exploring alternatives, this can be a huge opportunity to avoid formal charges and forego any negative impact to your criminal record.
From police reports, lab reports, and witness statements, we will scrutinize all the relevant materials. If there was a mistake or oversight, we’ll find it. This can result in evidence being excluded or give you an edge in negotiations. Once we collect details, we’ll present an argument that benefits you.
Many charges can be resolved through participating in pretrial diversion programs. They usually include a period of probation and/or community service, but are a path to having your charges dismissed and expunged.
Attorney Metcalf uses every resource to make the legal system work for you. Our extensive preparation will ensure improper evidence is excluded, and favorable statements are admitted. If an agreeable plea isn’t reached, we’ll hold the prosecution to its burden, and force them to prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt.
