Building a Criminal Defense

If you’ve been charged with a state or federal crime, the burden of proof is on the prosecution. Whether it’s a drug crime, domestic violence, or some other violent crime, when Edward N. Ajlouny accepts a case, he starts with a thorough interview with you, the defendant. Once he understands the circumstances around your arrest from your perspective, he begins a review of the discovery evidence against you, including witness statements, police reports, and the probable cause affidavit. He will depose the witnesses to expose flaws in the prosecutorial case. Once he knows everything that you’re up against, he will begin to develop a legal strategy based on his experience and what he knows will work. Some legal defenses that have been proven to work in criminal cases include:

Challenging the legality of a stop
Challenging a search of a car, premises, or person
Contesting coerced statements
Filing motions to suppress illegal evidence
Contesting the veracity of witness statements
Disputing the probable cause for arrest
