Finding the Most Effective Available Defense to Violent Crime Charges
If you need advice about the best ways to resolve charges of violent crimes such as homicide, manslaughter, aggravated assault or weapons offenses, contact the law firm of Arroyo Copland & Associates, PLLC in Albany to discuss your options with an experienced and dedicated criminal trial lawyer.
Former Marine Corps judge advocate officer Todd Monahan is a seasoned courtroom practitioner whose approach to client services in felony defense features honest advice, proactive engagement with the facts of the case, and accurate evaluation of all available defense strategies.
Examples of the kinds of violent criminal charges that our firm handles include:
- Homicide or manslaughter
- Attempted murder or aggravated assault
- Armed robbery or bank robbery
- Firearms and weapons offenses, including federal cases of gun possession by convicted felons
- Violent sex offenses
- Domestic assault
- Misdemeanor assault charges
In each case we handle, our goal is to defeat the prosecution's case against our client. In some cases, we can achieve this objective through suppression of evidence or exposure of contradictions in the case. Sometimes we can investigate and develop affirmative defenses in favor of our client. No matter how serious the charges against you might be, the advice and advocacy of an effective defense lawyer can protect you from the consequences of a conviction.
Although most criminal cases are resolved at a point well short of trial, we find that the best results are achieved when the defense prepares for court from the very beginning of the case. There is no better way to flush out the weaknesses in the prosecution's case, or to test the state's confidence in its own witnesses and physical evidence. Most of all, we know how to get the maximum benefit out of the presumption of innocence that protects every criminal defendant under New York and federal law.
