As a successful real estate broker, the client was concerned about the effect a criminal conviction would have on his professional license and livelihood. The District Attorney would not reduce the charge to a non-criminal traffic violation because the client was previously arrested for driving while intoxicated. Edward found a flaw in the prosecution’s handling of the case and made a motion to dismiss the case. The motion was granted in its entirety and the case was completely DISMISSED.

Client is a financial professional and his future career advancement was in jeopardy if convicted of this serious misdemeanor crime.

The Importance of a Good Criminal Defense Attorney
When you are faced with a criminal charge, having a skilled and experienced Criminal Defense Attorney can make a significant difference in the outcome of your case. Here’s how a

An experienced Criminal Defense Attorney understands the intricacies of the law and the procedures involved in criminal cases. I will guide you through each step of the process, explaining your rights and options, and ensuring that you are treated fairly.
- Protecting Your Rights: From the moment you are charged, I will work diligently to protect your rights. This includes advising you on how to handle interactions with law enforcement, ensuring that any evidence against you was obtained legally, and challenging any violations of your rights.
- Building a Strong Defense: A good Criminal Defense Attorney will conduct a thorough investigation of the charges against you. I will gather and analyze evidence, interview witnesses, and scrutinize the prosecution’s case to identify any weaknesses or inconsistencies. Based on this information, I will develop a strong defense strategy tailored to your specific circumstances.
- Negotiating Plea Deals: In some cases, it may be in your best interest to negotiate a plea deal with the prosecution. I have extensive experience in negotiating favorable plea agreements that can result in reduced charges or lighter sentences. I will advise you on whether a plea deal is a good option for your case and negotiate on your behalf to achieve the best possible outcome.

I will represent you with confidence and competence, presenting a compelling defense, cross-examining witnesses, and challenging the prosecution’s evidence. My goal is to secure an acquittal or the best possible verdict in your favor.
