Facing criminal charges is no joke. Even when the charges appear to be minor, defendants are likely anxious and overwhelmed by the matter. Thus, when individuals face felony charges, this is a serious situation that can significantly impact the accused individual's life from the very moment he or she is arrested and charged. Allegations alone can tarnish a person's reputation. Even when it seems like the evidence is overwhelming and there is little space to navigate this matter, defendants are afforded the ability to defend him or herself, allowing them to possibly clear their name and avoid potentially damaging penalties.

How can you reverse a conviction?
Facing a criminal charge is a tough predicament to be in. A defendant might look at the situation as being helpless. He or she sees the evidence against them, believing that they do not have a chance to fight the pending charges. Even if it looks like conviction is likely, defendants have the ability to assert a defense, no matter the situation. And if an unfavorable result occurs, it is still possible to take defensive action.
Helping you assert a defense following drug allegations
No one expects to be subject to a search. This is especially true for those in a traffic stop. Most motorists keep many items in their vehicles and, as passengers come in and out of the vehicle, it is likely that objects not belonging to the owner of the vehicle get left inside the automobile. Thus, when a search of the vehicle occurs, it is possible to have items not belonging to them located in the vehicle. When a vehicle search results in the uncovering of drugs, it is possible to use various defense options to reduce or dismiss these charges against the accused.
Implied consent and DUI cases
We don't always read the small print. Whether it is terms for an online purchase, a booklet contained with a new purchase or a contract one has entered into, it is easy to overlook the multitude of information included in these matters. In some cases, individuals may not be fully aware of what they just agreed to by making a purchase or carrying out any other action. Take for example a driver's license. A motorist is complying with certain terms when obtaining a license.
