Our Aggressive Strategy for Felony Defense
Felony cases demand a thorough, investigative, and trial-ready approach. Our Everett felony attorney draws on deep experience to challenge the prosecution's evidence and protect your rights at every stage.
Challenging Evidence & Constitutionality
- Investigative review: Our attorney’s background as a private investigator allows us to conduct a meticulous review of the state's case, identifying flaws and gathering crucial missing evidence that may be favorable to your defense.
- Motions to suppress: We scrutinize police conduct from the initial stop to the interrogation. If your Fourth Amendment rights (illegal search/seizure) or Fifth Amendment rights (improper Miranda warnings) were violated, we file motions to suppress key evidence, often impeding the state's ability to prove the charges.
- Scientific defense: In cases involving DUI, drugs, or forensic evidence, our attorney’s chemistry background provides a unique advantage in dismantling complex toxicology or lab reports that may be inaccurate or inconclusive.
Courtroom Advocacy & Mitigation
- Trial readiness: We prepare every case as if it will go to trial. This readiness is a powerful negotiating tool that compels prosecutors to take our defense seriously and offer the most favorable plea negotiations possible.
- Negotiation for reduction: Our primary goal is always dismissal. Failing that, we aggressively pursue negotiations to reduce the charge to a lower-level felony, a non-strike offense, or even a misdemeanor, to minimize prison time and preserve as many of your rights as possible.
- Sentencing advocacy: If a conviction is unavoidable, we fight passionately during the sentencing phase to argue for the lowest possible sentence under Washington sentencing guidelines, utilizing mitigating factors and alternative sentencing programs.
