Also, a theft charge could adversely affect an individual’s reputation and employability.

Our lawyers will be looking for anything that could result in the case being dismissed as well as potential constitutional infringements.

If it is a case involving search warrants, the lawyer will look to attack the application for the search warrant and execution of the search warrant, any Fifth Amendment violations, and statements made by the defendant to the Law Enforcement that could be thrown out from the case.

An attorney will look for any jurisdictional issues such as the statute of limitations or anything that shows that the State cannot prove its case. Our lawyers will also look for ways to see if the case can be dropped or the charged can be reduced from a felony to a misdemeanor.
