El Monte Courthouse Criminal Defense Attorney
Your first strategy should be to find a savvy criminal defense attorney who knows the ins and outs of the El Monte Courthouse. Interaction with the judges and prosecutors in this court is crucial to the best result in your criminal defense.
So, once you have your attorney, the next step is to decide your strategy related to the case. If you are going to try and negotiate the case, then I will typically request that you obtain character letters, and I will collect information about you and your life.
This way, when I sit down to meet with the prosecutor and judge, I have your life story, and I can paint a picture for them that shows them that the crime you are charged with is an aberration and will not happen again.
Negotiating With Prosecutor
Usually, the key concerns for the prosecutor and judge are to ensure your behavior will not happen again and to protect the community from harm. If we can convince them that you will not re-offend and show them that you are not a danger to the public, then we are on the path to a successful resolution.
This can be done in several ways, depending on the facts and circumstances of your particular case. I consider it one of the most important parts of my job to meet with the client and map out exactly what facts and evidence we will use to achieve their desired result.
I also believe that in this part of the process, it is important for me to be open and honest with the client about what they should expect in their criminal case. If we can shoot for a reasonable target, I believe we will have the best chance of success and obtaining the desired goal.
When Should You Fight Your Case In El Monte Superior Court?
It is common for clients to ask me if it is a good idea to fight their case. In answering this question, I ask them to fast forward and imagine what a jury would do if they were presented with the evidence the police and prosecutors would bring against them.
Further, I suggest they determine whether their defense of the crime makes common sense and if they believe they would win. I give them the case law that will be applied to their circumstances, and we discuss the options. We handle all types of cases, including domestic violence, theft crimes, and violent crimes.
Last, I will give them my opinion on what I think of their case, what would be necessary for the prosecutors to prove them guilty of the charged crime, and what we would have to do to obtain a not guilty verdict.
One of my strongest attributes as a criminal defense attorney is helping clients make the best decisions related to the facts of their cases. Once the right decisions are made, the pieces of the puzzle fit together, and the client can move on with their life! Call Hedding Law Firm today!
