7. Can I get my case dismissed?

Criminal defense attorneys carry out thorough investigations to find all the evidence available to raise a reasonable doubt as to the defendant’s culpability. If the defense attorney can show the D.A. that insufficient evidence exists to sustain a guilty verdict at trial, the D.A. may be willing to drop the case or reduce it to a minor criminal charge.

8. Is an attorney necessary?

Having an experienced criminal defense attorney is necessary to maximize the odds of getting charges reduced or dismissed. Private counsel – unlike public defenders – have the resources and time required to put together the best defense possible. And time has shown that prosecutors are far more likely to extend favorable plea bargains to defendants with their own attorney.
