The biggest challenge we face in handling murder and manslaughter cases is that these are the types of crimes the District Attorney’s office will focus all of their resources on. We investigate the case often better than the police themselves did. We file numerous motions to determine the best presentation of the evidence for our client. Finally, we work with the client to determine whether they wish to testify. We often use a mock trial to determine case strategy and show the client what cross-examination will look like. We come up with The Best Defense for someone in these very serious crimes.
