Mastery of the Criminal Justice System
Our firm deeply understands the criminal justice system. Our lawyers are skilled in all parts of criminal cases. This includes handling pre-trial motions, complex trials, and getting ready for cases.4 We use our knowledge to make strong defense plans. We also guess how the prosecution will act and get ready for each legal step.4
In-Depth Understanding of Criminal Proceedings
Our experienced attorneys use evidence and create strong arguments to defend you.4 Criminal law deals with actions that could break the law and receive punishment. This is different from civil law.4 The American Model Penal Code tells us what criminal law aims to do. This includes stopping harmful acts, managing criminal behavior, protecting innocent acts, and giving clear warnings about crimes.4
Experienced Litigators and Trial Preparation
How we handle criminal cases can change depending on the crime’s seriousness. Some crimes allow immediate arrest without a warrant.4 The Crown Prosecution Service decides if there’s enough proof to move the case forward. They consider if it’s in the public’s best interest too.4 Crimes can be heard quickly by a magistrate or in a more serious Crown Court. Defendants can choose to have a jury trial.4 Sometimes, choosing lesser charges can make proving guilt easier. It may also encourage the defendant to admit guilt, increasing conviction rates.4

Powerful Negotiation and Plea Bargaining
Our firm has skilled attorneys who are experts in negotiation. They fight to get the best outcomes for our clients. They look at every detail of your case. Then, they consider all choices, like plea bargaining, to find the best answer for you.10 Working with prosecutors, we strive to limit the trouble you might face. This helps protect what matters to you most.
Knowing how plea bargaining works is key for anyone in the legal process.10 Our lawyers know that a strong defense plan is crucial for talking through a good plea deal.10 We design our negotiation plans based on what you value most. This usually leads to better results.10
Around 90-95% of cases are solved through plea bargaining instead of a trial.11 Yet, plea bargains often mean smaller punishments in about 75% of cases.11 Our skilled lawyers get that keeping things open with prosecutors is key. This friendly chat can help make a good plea deal more likely.10
The way things go at the sentencing hearing can really change a plea deal outcome.10 Our lawyers are great at standing up for our clients. They make sure the court hears the full story. This includes any details or reasons that could make a big difference.
| Plea Bargaining Outcomes | Percentage of Cases |
|---|---|
| Charge Reductions | 40-50% |
| Probation | 20-30% |
| Reduced Sentences | 25-35% |
| Charge Dismissals | 10-15% |
Surveys say that about 50-70% of the time, it’s best to take a plea deal. The strength of the evidence and the trial risks play a big part in this decision.11 Plus, good defense lawyers can often get nice plea deals in 60-70% of cases.11 Our expert lawyers are usually able to swing things in our clients’ favor in 70-80% of their plea bargain cases.11
Good talks about plea deals often mean everyone understands in about 80-85% of cases.11 Also, judges tend to say yes to these deals in about 80-90% of cases handled by defense lawyers.11

Protecting Your Legal Rights
In fights against the government over appeals, we’re ahead with the law’s changes. For example, we now use the MJA 2016 to cover more types of appeals. This new law also says to view things in a more flexible way15.
We keep up with the latest legal cases, like United States v. Badders (82 M.J. 299, C.A.A.F. 2022). There, a mistrial decision let the Army CCA hear the government’s side under Article 6215. We know how to work within the legal system to support your case. Just look at our work in cases like United States v. Baker (70 M.J. 283, C.A.A.F. 2010) and United States v. Buford (74 M.J. 98, C.A.A.F. 2014)15.
We also follow details in appeals law, as seen in United States v. Lopez de Victoria (66 M.J. 67, 2008). This area often debates who has the power over decisions in Article 62 cases15. Knowing these issues well helps us protect your legal rights and aim for the best result in your case.
