For several years I was a deputy prosecuting attorney. In that position, I handled thousands of criminal cases for the State of Indiana. I prosecuted everything from traffic infractions, to misdemeanors, to the most serious felonies. Now, I represent individuals who are accused of crimes.
In the best case scenario, I will convince the prosecutor to dismiss the charges or take your case to trial and win. In other cases I will negotiate a favorable plea bargain. At a minimum, I will help to ensure that the system treats you fairly.
The constitutions of the United States and the State of Indiana guarantee you certain rights as a criminal defendant. Some of those rights include:
1. The right to remain silent. You cannot be forced to plead guilty or to make any self incriminating statement.
2. The right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures.
3. The right to an attorney. At all stages of your case you have the right to be represented by an attorney. If you are unable to afford counsel, the Court should appoint a public defender.
4. The right to trial by jury.
5. The right to a speedy, public trial.
6. The right to confront and cross-examine witnesses against you.
7. The right to compel witnesses to appear and testify on your behalf.
8. The right to appeal a conviction.
