Criminal Case Resolution

There are several ways to resolve a pending criminal matter. Obviously, an outright dismissal of the case is always the best outcome with an outright acquittal being the next best result. Naturally the facts and circumstances surrounding each case are paramount and differ with each client’s arrest. Before making any decision with how best to proceed, it is crucial that you learn all of the options that may be available to you.

We’re making this decision, the first thing that needs to be considered is the evidence in which the state intends to use against you. Each particular crime has a set of elements that the state must prove beyond a reasonable doubt to convict you. While a defendant may never be compelled to present evidence in any case, credible witnesses that are willing to testify on your behalf can significantly impact whether or not the prosecutor even wishes to proceed in an action against you.
