When people are accused of a crime, they face the terrible possibility of going to
jail. Our attorneys can represent you if you are charged with a crime. They will
negotiate with prosecutors and can often arrange for reduced charges or lesser
sentencing. Our criminal defense lawyers do much more than simply question
witnesses in court. Our attorneys at Burch, Banyon & Ford will:
- Formulate sentencing programs tailored to your specific needs, often
helping you avoid future brushes with the justice system.
- Provide you with a reality check, a knowledgeable, objective perspective
on the situation and what is likely to happen should your case go to trial. This
perspective is vital for you, the defendant, on trying to decide whether to accept
a prosecutor's offered "plea bargain".
- Our attorneys are competent with the important legal rules because many
criminal law rules are hidden away in court interpretations of federal and state
constitutions.
- The attorneys at our office are familiar with local court customs and
procedures that aren't written down anywhere (for example, our lawyers know
which prosecutor has the "real" authority to settle a case, and what kinds of
arguments are likely to appeal to that prosecutor).
- They understand the possible "hidden costs" of pleading guilty which a
self-represented person might never think about.
- They will be dedicated and spend crucial time on your case. They will
also gather information from prosecution witnesses if needed. If applicable,
they will hire and manage investigators, who may be able to believably impeach
(contradict) prosecution witnesses who embellish or change their stories at
trial.
