In most cases you do not have to appear, your attorney will appear on your behalf.
Request for Evidence
The discovery process is one of the key elements of a successful defense. The State is required to, upon request by our firm to turn over all evidence, including police reports, names, addresses and statements, of all witnesses, reports of experts, reports of any tests conducted, surveillance videos, and any information that could lead to your acquittal. Many times the prosecution will leave out critical information, our firm will be able to spot these and make sure that this information is turned over or ask the court for sanctions including excluding the information.
Pre-Trial Motions
Law enforcement officers are required to follow procedures required by the Constitution of the United States and of Florida. Failure to follow these instructions can lead to the evidence in your case being thrown out by a Judge. Our firm will be able to look at the reports and evidence to determine whether law enforcement has followed the constitution, and if not, we will file the appropriate motion to dismiss.
Negotiations with Prosecutor
Another key part of a successful defense is the ability to negotiate with the prosecutors. The Judge has the final say in what your sentence will be, however, the judge will usually follow the offer made by the Prosecutor. Our firm has the ability to speak with the prosecutors and negotiate the best possible outcome on your case.
