EARLY INTERVENTION BY COUNSEL IN KEY TO A PROPER DEFENSE

It is extremely important to have an experienced and knowledgeable attorney begin working on your case as early as possible. Critical issues, such as how your particular case will be filed and what charges will be leveled against you, are decided, many a time, very soon after your arrest or during the investigatory period. Early intervention gives us an opportunity to potentially reduce or dismiss either felony or misdemeanor charges against you before the first court date.

Charges so severe as Murder require an extensive investigation by your attorney in order to properly defend such a case. Our office has associated many investigators to complete the investigatory task for a Murder case. A proper investigation will reveal any mistakes made by the police department. Also, a proper investigation will reveal any inconsistencies in witness statements that could lead to settlement or dismissal of a case. Moreover, a proper investigation will provide the defense attorney the tools necessary to be successful at a Murder jury trial.

Please feel free to call for an initial FREE CONSULTATION in our office, or in the privacy and convenience of your own home, during which we can explore how best to defend and resolve your case. Our 24-hour telephone number is (818) 205-1555.
