At
William John DiPetrillo & Associates
, we take a personalized approach to each violent crime case, developing a defense strategy tailored to your specific situation. Some common defense strategies include:
Self-Defense:
Many violent crime cases involve situations where the accused acted in self-defense or in defense of another person. Proving that you acted to protect yourself or others can result in a reduction or dismissal of charges.
False Accusations:
Unfortunately, false accusations of violent crimes do occur. We work diligently to uncover inconsistencies in the prosecution’s case and present evidence that clears your name.
Illegal Search and Seizure:
If your rights were violated during an arrest or investigation, we may seek to have evidence excluded from the case.
Lack of Intent:
In cases where intent is a factor, we may argue that there was no intention to cause harm, which can be a key defense in charges like aggravated assault or battery.
Challenging Evidence:
We scrutinize the prosecution’s evidence to ensure that it was legally obtained and can be used in court. Any violation of your constitutional rights can lead to a reduction in charges or a case dismissal.
