What to Do If You Have Been Accused of a Crime in Greece

Our representation usually begins with a phone call. A defendant or a concerned family member calls us and tells us they need help. This is when we swing into action. We can help clients before they are even arrested. Maybe you suspect the police are looking at you as a potential culprit. Maybe a close friend has been arrested and now the police are asking pointed questions. We can offer frank legal advice about what to do. If police retain you in for an interrogation, we will be by your side advising you when to talk and when to remain silent.

The criminal process is confusing, and some prosecutors may claim they have an “open and shut” case. We know most cases are complex, and our clients deserve an attorney who is willing to get to the bottom of those complexities. We perform an independent review of all evidence to fully understand the circumstances surrounding the arrest of each of our clients. Speak with one of our criminal defense lawyers at King Law to fully understand your options.

What King Law Offers Those Accused of Crimes in Greece and Surrounding Areas

The foundation of our success as Greece, NY, attorneys is our commitment to uncovering the truth and our ability to use the law to our client’s advantage. We do more than simply represent our clients at trial or court hearings. We work to uncover evidence that helps us build a strong defense. We do not rely solely on the evidence presented by prosecutors. We find additional evidence and look for errors in the prosecution’s case. We use this information to advocate for more favorable outcomes for our clients.

Here is what the defense attorneys at King Law do for each of our clients, based on the specifics of each case:

• We investigate the crime
• We challenge the evidence against you
• We push for favorable plea deals
• We push to have charges dropped
• We push for trial when the prosecution’s evidence does not support the charges

We Can Investigate the Crime

If you hire us, we can roll up our sleeves and immediately investigate the crime. We might visit the crime scene and talk to witnesses. We can also search for helpful evidence, like cell phone records, which link someone else to the offense. It is not unusual for us to uncover evidence that contradicts law enforcement or the prosecutor’s version of events.

We Can Challenge the Evidence Against You

Before trial, we can ask the judge to keep out certain pieces of evidence. Often, we argue the police obtained the evidence in violation of our client’s rights. For example, they might have searched a suspect’s house without permission or a search warrant. Any contraband found should be tossed out of court. These motions are a good way to put pressure on prosecutors. If successful, we can also increase the odds of an acquittal at trial, since some incriminating evidence is kept out.

We Can Push for a Favorable Plea Deal

Plea negotiations should begin almost as soon as the prosecutor files charges. In fact, our Greece, NY, criminal defense attorneys always keep open lines of communication with prosecutors. This continuing dialogue helps us get a feel for what the prosecutor is thinking. We can also point out the weaknesses in their case.

Sometimes, prosecutors have no choice but to offer a plea deal because they soon realize their evidence is weaker than they thought. In other cases, we can selectively share evidence that shows our client is innocent. Even if the prosecutor disbelieves us, they know we intend to put up a fight in the courtroom.

A plea bargain is not always ideal, but we discuss the possibility with our clients. In many situations a favorable plea deal allows our clients to avoid jail and rebuild their lives.

We Defend You at Trial

A criminal trial is a make-or-break moment. All plea negotiations have failed, so the only way to vindicate our client is to head into court and argue their case. At King Law, we pride ourselves on our criminal trial work. Our team has tried more than 100 cases before a jury. We know what evidence jurors find persuasive and how to present it in a forceful way.

Our trial defense begins with selecting a fair jury. This is harder than many people imagine. Some folks automatically assume all defendants are guilty or make false statements to be part of our a jury. Our experience helps us see these types of jurors a mile away.

We also object to unduly prejudicial evidence. For example, the prosecutor cannot use evidence that you hang out with convicted criminals to show you are guilty by association. They also cannot use evidence of prior convictions. We raise timely objections and preserve any issue for appeal.

Plea Deal Negotiation

Sometimes a plea deal is the best outcome for a client. With a plea, a defendant admits guilt in exchange for a lesser charge, which means their penalties are less severe. For example, we might get a felony charge reduced to a misdemeanor.

Negotiating a plea deal is difficult. There is quite a bit of overlap with making arguments in court. We can plant seeds of doubt in the prosecutor’s mind about the strength of their case, or argue our clients are committed to reform if given a chance to avoid jail.
