The Evidence is Key
A gun crime case presents many of the same legal issues as one involving an alleged drug charge. Was the gun actually in possession of the accused at the time of the alleged crime? Is it possible to separate the gun from the accused? Can the rules of evidence be used to suppress the weapon as evidence at trial?
As we investigate and develop your case, our firm will review these and many other questions. If the means for a potentially successful defense exists, the Law Offices of Barton and Phillips will work to find it.
Always Striving to Obtain the Best Outcome
Our attorneys will work to build the strongest defense possible. We will examine the evidence, review the legal issues to identify the best strategy in your case, and explain your options. If we can get the charge dismissed in pre-trial hearings, we will attempt to do so. If your decision is to go to trial, our attorneys will aggressively defend your rights and freedom. In some cases, we may be able to successfully negotiate an acceptable outcome that minimizes the penalties you receive.
Whatever your decision, the Law Offices of Barton and Phillips will work to obtain the best outcome possible, while defending your rights at all stages of the legal process.
