Preventing, Dismissing, or Reducing Federal Crime Charges
Bear in mind that the prosecutor in your case carries the burden of proving you guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Police and prosecutors do make mistakes. As each of our attorneys formerly served as prosecutors, we know how to take advantage of any defense opportunities. Where feasible, we first endeavor to prevent charges from being filed against you. If this is not possible, it may be possible to file a motion to get the charges dismissed.
In some cases, the best option could be to get the charges reduced, based on the details of the case. Other cases could be successfully defended in federal court, resulting in a full acquittal. Regardless of the particulars of your case, we urge you to get the most qualified, professional, and accomplished defense team on your side as early as possible in the process.
