As we discussed last week, the state's attorney is pushing for some changes in the criminal justice system. While many of those changes will be welcomed by the defense teams, they aren't in place yet. As of now, if you are charged with a crime in Maryland, you need to build a defense that is as strong as possible.
There are several points regarding a defense that we must consider. There aren't any cases that contain exactly the same elements, so what is appropriate for one case might not work for another. That is one of the reasons why it is so important for a person who is facing criminal charges to spend as much time as possible considering their defense options.
When you are considering the defense options that might apply to your case, you have to consider how your defense will be received in a local court. That is a point that many people don't consider. Each court has intricacies that defense teams must consider. We are familiar with the local procedures and local criminal justice participants who oversee cases.
Once you decide on how each point in your case will be defended against, you have to work on building up each point. It is critical that you carefully plan each point in your case and consider contingency plans when they might be needed.
Fortunately, you don't have to try to navigate through the defense process on your own. We can help you to pull your defense together from the start of your case through the end of it.
