Our firm is dedicated exclusively to criminal defense, and this focus has enabled us to build our experience and our resources in this important field. In working with a Richmond criminal defense attorney at our law firm, you will have the opportunity to get the help you need to avoid a criminal conviction and the many serious consequences this may bring, such as imprisonment, fines, probation, a damaged reputation and a future tainted by a criminal record.
Although you may have been arrested and even though law enforcement may have told you that you have no chance of avoiding a conviction due to the evidence they have amassed against you, this may simply not be the case. Part of an arresting officer's job is to elicit a confession so that they can avoid lengthy trial proceedings. It is not uncommon for an officer to attempt to trick a suspect into a confession; they do this by pretending to be on your side, saying that you have no case, and/or intimidating you. A criminal defense lawyer serving the Richmond area can conduct a complete investigation into this matter and can ask key questions that may turn your case around:
- Were you lawfully arrested?
- Were you subjected to an illegal search and seizure?
- Is there actually sufficient evidence to secure a conviction?
- Is the witness testimony reliable?
- Were you acting in self defense or in defense of others?
- Were any of your rights violated in the investigation of your case?
- Was proper procedure followed by law enforcement every step of the way?
