The experienced criminal defense attorneys at John Anderson Law understand the California criminal justice system and how to protect the rights of clients who are charged with a crime. Finding the proper strategy for your criminal case is an art form practiced by only the most skilled and knowledgeable attorneys. When you engage the attorneys at John Anderson Law to represent you, we will explore every option available to you and will deliver the best possible outcome.
Consideration of Mitigating Circumstances
Occasionally, clients are charged with crimes of which they are absolutely innocent. The criminal defense attorneys at John Anderson Law understand that witnesses may report incomplete or incorrect facts to law enforcement officials or that other mitigating circumstances may have occurred, resulting in a wrongful charge. In such cases, it is imperative to have an experienced California criminal defense attorney at your side to make certain that factual information and extenuating circumstances are properly presented and considered in your criminal case.
Reducing Overcharge Indictments to a Lesser Charge
Often, in criminal cases, a defendant is overcharged. A client may have committed only a misdemeanor offense, yet has been charged with a serious felony. Successfully evaluating an overcharge and reducing it to a lesser offense are among the arsenal of skills possessed by the highly qualified criminal defense attorneys at John Anderson Law.
Alternative Sentencing Options
In many California criminal cases, a well-informed attorney can request that a criminal client be given an alternative to incarceration; however, alternative sentencing is not guaranteed to every defendant. A criminal defense attorney must demonstrate to the presiding judge and the prosecutor that the defendant possesses the proper qualifications to be considered for an alternative sentencing program.
The opportunity for a California criminal defendant to receive an alternative sentence occurs frequently but requires considerable effort on the part of the criminal defense attorney to convince the judge and the prosecutor to allow it. The legal team at John Anderson Law has a proven record of success in providing clients with alternative sentencing outcomes.
