Why You Need a Strong Advocate on Your Side
When you are charged with a crime, the most important decision you can make is choosing a criminal defense attorney. In Sacramento, police and prosecutors are dedicated to convicting you, and can be extremely aggressive in building a case against you. To protect your rights, you need a highly-skilled criminal attorney who knows the courts and is on your side. Having an experienced and effective lawyer can mean the difference between a prison sentence and reduced or dismissed charges.
The Brennan Defense approach
Your dedicated Brennan Defense criminal law attorney begins by sitting down with you to find out exactly what happened, explain the law, and advise you on your options in the situation. Our preferred goal is to get your case dismissed or to have you acquitted. When this is not possible, we use all available legal means to minimize the consequences for you. If a plea agreement is available, we evaluate the full impact of the proposal — including sentencing options and the effect on your criminal record — and advise you accordingly. If we believe it is in your best interests, your seasoned Brennan Defense criminal law attorney is fully prepared to take your case to trial.
How we can help you
There are many ways we can put our experience and our knowledge of the law and of the courts to work for you. Depending on the specific circumstances of your case, we may take one or more of the following actions to improve your position:
- Work to get the charges against you dropped or reduced
- Interview police and other parties involved in the criminal situation to uncover inconsistencies or exaggerations
- Independently investigate the circumstances of the crime
- Search for and engage witnesses to the crime who may testify on your behalf
- Determine if any of the evidence against you was obtained illegally
- Bring in private investigators to uncover evidence in your favor
- Hire expert witnesses to strengthen defense arguments
- Negotiate with prosecutors to minimize the charges and consequences
The importance of seeking counsel immediately
Even when you know you are innocent, the reality is that any delay in retaining a skilled defense lawyer may ultimately cost you your freedom. As a former prosecutor, your Brennan Defense Sacramento criminal law attorney goes to work immediately to preserve evidence and witness accounts, and to advise and prevent you from volunteering any statements that may be used later to hurt your case.
