Representing Criminal Defendants in Virginia
A criminal charge requires a vigorous defense. Depending on the charge, a conviction can result not only in fines and imprisonment, it can have long-term effects and can ruin your career prospects.
At the law firm of Shuttleworth, Ruloff, Swain, Haddad & Morecock, P.C. in Virginia Beach, Virginia, our approach to representing a criminal defendant begins with an investigation of the facts and a careful examination of the relevant criminal statutes. This usually involves confidential client consultations, as well as witness interviews. Our criminal defense investigator, Mike Carey, is a retired Virgina Beach police officer and former spokesperson for the department.
While it is the burden of the prosecution to prove all the elements of a criminal offense, in advance of your trial, we subpoena necessary witnesses and evidence that can help to rebut evidence of guilt at trial.
Negotiating With Prosecutors
If the state has a strong case against you, our defense lawyers may recommend that we negotiate with prosecutors and police to reduce the charge to a lesser-included offense. Our goal in these negotiations is to minimize the damages and spare you the consequence of a more serious criminal conviction.
If negotiations fail, our presentation of your case before a judge or jury may still result in conviction of a lesser offense where the evidence at trial supports the lesser offense. For this reason, when charged with a crime, it is important to have the benefit of a criminal defense lawyer who is familiar with Virginia law, the rules of evidence and with the particular facts of your case.
If you face sentencing for a criminal offense, our attorneys are experienced in presenting mitigating factors that can result in lesser fines, lesser periods of incarceration, and, in many cases, no jail time. Where appropriate, your attorney will also call witnesses at the sentencing phase, such as family members, clergy, employers, and others in a position to present favorable testimony.
