The Best Defense is a Good Offense
In order for our team to effectively represent you before a judge and prosecutor, we'll need information – and lots of it. Our job is to defend your supposed actions, or lack thereof, and show that the state's accusations are questionable at best. We do this by going on the attack and hunting down all the facts and falsehoods surrounding your arrest. Our methodology is a proactive one, founded upon the following core fundamentals:
Request: Following our initial consult, we will begin by requesting and collecting all viable information concerning your arrest. Depending on the charges, this can include, but is not limited to, police reports, surveillance video, witness statements, photos, and any other pertinent documentation.
Research: Once we have compiled all the appropriate sources, we will begin our investigation. This can include visiting the scene of the crime to obtain additional facts on the case, conducting background checks on all witnesses and potential victims, reviewing all supplied documentation for potential errors, and utilizing the services of a private investigator.
Reliability: From that point, we will take all the evidence and information we have gathered and test it accordingly. This could mean potentially sending items off to a laboratory to be tested or hiring a professional to test the reliability of a reconstructed scene or sample.
Our Goal = Your Freedom
As professionals working within the field of criminal defense, we have witnessed the kind of personal and professional devastation that can come with a conviction. Families can be separated for years at a time and financial ruin always seems to be right around the corner. At Law Office of Michael L. Guisti we are dedicated to helping those who have been accused of a crime avoid these kinds of disasters and successfully move on with their lives. Whether we accomplish this by having the charges dropped, reduced, or eventually thrown out, we won't quit until the job is complete. Our criminal defense team provides efficient, cost-effective, and aggressive representation and we will never relent from pursuing a positive outcome on your behalf.
