Possible Defenses for Your Oakwood Charges
We know from our vast experience that no two cases are alike. Although your charges might be the same as other cases we’ve handled, we know a one-size-fits-all approach does not help you get the defense you deserve.
Our Process
When we sit down to discuss your case, we will listen to what happened from your point of view. Your description of the events gives us a great starting point.
From there, we gather the evidence in the prosecutor’s possession, especially exculpatory evidence, so we thoroughly understand the allegations against you.
We’ll conduct our investigations if it is necessary to uncover additional evidence to support your defense.
After gathering evidence, we comb through every detail to find the strengths and weaknesses in the State’s case against you.
As former prosecutors, we understand how the State will present its case against you and this understanding helps us to know the best way to defend you.
Anticipating the prosecutor’s view of the case helps us craft a strong defense. Our goal is to get your case dismissed, your charges lowered, a good plea deal, or win a not-guilty verdict at trial.
Even though we examine every case thoroughly, we know that similar issues arise in almost every case.
For example, in an OVI defense, we would look for helpful evidence such as:
- Whether law enforcement officers violated your rights by pulling you over without a valid reason;
- If the police administered and interpreted field sobriety tests correctly;
- If any independent witnesses observed you driving who could contradict the police officer’s testimony;
- Whether any witnesses could help you by testifying that you appeared sober before you drove;
- f the chemical tests the police gave you were invalid.
Once we determine your best overall defense strategy, we can focus on implementing that strategy to get you the best outcome possible.
