Tailored Strategies for Every Case

Each criminal case has its own story, needing a unique plan. First, I dive into the evidence deeply. I search for what could help us, or where the case might not be so strong.³

Evidence Analysis

I pick over the evidence with care, looking for any flaws. This could be tricky, like when people remember things differently. I also watch out for witnesses who might not tell the whole truth because they have their own reasons.⁴

Plea Bargaining

When a deal could be a good choice, I jump in to work it out. The goal is to get the best deal for my clients. This can be a lightened charge, a smaller punishment, or even dropping the case completely.

Trial Advocacy

If trial is the next step, I’m ready. I argue strongly and question witnesses well. My goal is to show there’s room for doubt, helping my clients come out on top. Telling a good story is very important. I try to see things from my client’s side and get the jury to feel for them too.⁵

Challenging DWI Cases

Defending against DWI charges means knowing the law and science well. I focus on proving breath and blood tests may not be correct¹¹¹²¹³. It’s also about challenging the police’s actions¹¹ and the accuracy of sobriety tests¹²¹³. This thorough approach has helped my clients with DWI charges get the best outcomes.

Breath and Blood Test Challenges

Breathalyzer tests check how much alcohol is in your blood but they aren’t always right. Mistakes or not following proper procedures can make the results unfair¹¹¹³. Blood tests must also be done correctly for their results to be trusted. It’s crucial that blood samples are handled properly, or the test results could be questioned.¹³ A defense lawyer might ask for an independent check of blood samples to cast doubt on the original test¹³.

Constitutional Rights Violations

If the police break the rules during your arrest, it could help your case. This might lead to less severe punishment or even the case being dropped¹¹. Skilled lawyers can work to dismiss your charges by showing that the evidence was gotten illegally or based on weak reasons¹³. In DUI cases, they can ask to exclude proofs by questioning the tests’ correctness3>. If the evidence was unlawfully collected, it might not be allowed in court, which could mean your charges are dropped¹³

Field Sobriety Test Accuracy

Field sobriety tests aren’t always fair. They rely on people’s observations and can be wrong. Defense lawyers can point out many reasons why these tests might not be accurate, from health problems to unclear instructions¹¹¹²¹³. Certain health conditions or external factors can make a sober person seem drunk during these tests. Things like stress or the test environment can also affect a person’s performance, making them seem drunk when they’re not¹³.

Criminal Law Defense

My comprehensive criminal law defense work covers everything from small crimes to big ones. I’ve helped people accused of various crimes, like theft and drug offenses. I always give my all, looking closely at the evidence and coming up with strong defense plans.¹⁴ It doesn’t matter what the charge is; I always fight hard for my clients.

In my practice, I handle many types of criminal cases. This means I can find the best legal solutions for different situations. I know a lot about criminal law and the justice system. So, I can make defense strategies that work well and help my clients get the best result.¹⁴¹⁵¹⁶

Common Criminal Law Defenses	Description
Insanity Defense	¹⁵Depending on the state, a defendant must prove having a mental disorder that prevented understanding right from wrong or controlling actions. Insanity defense can lead to avoiding prison time but might require treatment in a psychiatric facility.
Intoxication Defense	¹⁵Involuntary intoxication can be a defense for crimes where the defendant didn’t understand right from wrong. Voluntary intoxication is only a defense for specific intent crimes.
Mistake of Law/Fact Defense	¹⁵Defendant argues a fundamental mistake negates an element of the crime. Mistake of law applies when defendant believed actions were lawful, while mistake of fact applies when defendant misunderstood a key element of the crime.
Self-Defense/Defense of Another	¹⁵Defendant argues they were justified in committing the crime, such as acting in self-defense or defending another person from harm.
Duress Defense	¹⁵Defendant claims they committed the crime because they were forced to do so by someone else under threat of harm.
Necessity Defense	¹⁵Defendant argues committing the crime was necessary to prevent a more significant harm from occurring.
Consent Defense	¹⁵Defendant asserts no crime occurred because the victim consented to the actions in question, like in cases of sexual assault or assault.
Abandonment or Withdrawal Defense	¹⁵Defendant argues they initially intended to commit a crime but later withdrew from participation before the crime was carried out.
Entrapment Defense	¹⁵Defendant claims they were induced by the government to commit the crime and should not be held responsible as it wouldn’t have occurred without the government’s involvement.

¹⁴ In criminal law, about 17 common defenses can be used. I know them well and use them to protect my clients. The prosecution must prove the crime beyond a reasonable doubt. I work hard to show the court that there is doubt.¹⁶ Lawyers often aim to create doubt to win not guilty verdicts for their clients.

¹⁴ Insanity defense is used less because it’s hard to prove. But, I can handle it if needed. Self-defense can excuse crimes like assault if the force was necessary. I have used this to help my clients.¹⁴ If evidence was gathered illegally, it can lead to a case being thrown out. I’m always watching for this to protect my clients’ rights.

¹⁴ My work includes many defense areas, like alibi and self-defense. I tackle each case with care, aiming to win the best outcome for my client. No matter the charge, my commitment is strong. Criminal Law Defense

Bond Condition Guidance

If you’ve been arrested and are looking at criminal charges, bail and bond conditions are very important. As your lawyer, I’ll work hard to get the best favorable bond conditions possible for you.²² I know the ins and outs of the criminal justice system. I’ll help you understand the process and keep your rights safe. This means you can move through the system well and get ready for your defense.²²

²² The Pre-Trial Integrity Act will start in North Carolina on October 1, 2023. It will change how bonds are set for some criminal charges.²² Magistrates set the terms for release 24/7, except for Domestic Violence charges. Judges handle bond settings during court sessions from about 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday to Friday.²² This new law means that judges will decide on release conditions for serious crimes. These include things like first and second-degree murder, kidnapping, and rape.²²

²² People in North Carolina with more than one charge will face changes to the laws. There’s a big focus on DWI charges, which could mean longer times in jail. This affects more people charged with felonies.²² Under the Pretrial Integrity Act, anyone held for up to 48 hours may stay even longer. This can happen on weekends or holidays when courts don’t meet. It might make it hard for people to keep up with work and family.

²² The law changes may put a lot of pressure on the Durham, NC legal system. This is a result of more bond hearings. The North Carolina bond law aims to balance justice with public safety.²² The goal is to make sure people are not kept in jail longer than needed. Families in Durham might have a tough time because of this. They may end up dealing with Social Services or Child Protective Services.

²² Longer stays in jail can make costs go up at the Durham County Jail. Plus, people might need to pay more for their legal help with these changes at bond hearings.²²

²³ Not following a no-contact order can cause serious trouble. This means no contacts are used in domestic assault and other cases. It’s important to follow these rules.²³ Starting July 1, 2023, DUI charges in Tennessee come with new rules. They’ll need an ignition interlock or SCRAM device under certain conditions. This is for their bond, which means they must follow these rules.²³

²³ To make sure defendants show up in court, they might be told not to travel. This can lead to new trouble if they don’t listen.2> And if there’s a worry someone might run away, they might have to give up their passport or driver’s license.

²³ The court might ask for drug tests in cases related to drugs. If the test is positive, the bond could be taken away.²³ Someone dealing with mental health issues might have to get treatment. If they don’t, they might lose their bond release.

²³ Jobs or school might be part of how someone is released. But if they don’t do what they’re told, it’s not good for their case.²³ Doing community service is another way to go. This is either for getting back into the community or making up for something. The terms for this can change.
