Why Hire Shircliff Law LLC for Felony Defense?
When facing a felony charge, the prosecution is often aggressive from the start. They will try to secure a conviction quickly. You need an attorney ready to counter that aggression with a precise and strategic defense. At Shircliff Law LLC, clients work directly with me, not with a junior associate or someone who lacks courtroom experience.
Here’s what I can do as your felony defense attorney:
- I will examine the circumstances of your arrest. Was there probable cause for the arrest? Was the search that led to the evidence legal? If not, I will file a motion to suppress evidence unlawfully obtained.
- I will challenge the prosecution's case. I will scrutinize police reports, witness statements, and forensic evidence for inconsistencies or procedural errors. I will not accept the prosecution's version of events without a fight.
- I will provide an honest assessment of your options. I will give you a clear, down-to-earth explanation of your situation. My goal is to help you make informed decisions, whether that means fighting the case at trial or seeking a plea agreement in your best interest.
- I am always prepared for trial. My reputation as a trial lawyer who "hates to lose" means I am always ready to go to court if that is what it takes to protect your freedom.
I am the attorney you want representing you when your future is on the line.
