How We Win Before Trial
Investigation
Our firm uses private investigators to conduct interviews of witnesses, perform background checks, and dig into parts of a case that law enforcement will ignore.
Expert Witnesses
We use experts from around the country tailored to our clients’ needs. From psychologists to computer forensic experts, our firm has access to the nation’s premier experts in their respective fields.
Pre-Trial Motions
From motions to suppress evidence to motions to compel evidence, our firm aggressively uses pre-trial motions to get cases dismissed or to greatly weaken the government’s case.
Trial Preparation
Preparing well in advance of trial is key. Deciding which witnesses to call and which evidence to introduce is crucial. We often employ focus groups to help us refine these decisions and win the case.
