I work hard to make sure your rights are protected from the first step to the last.
When faced with criminal charges, the judicial system can be overwhelming. One false decision might cost you your freedom, reputation, and future. This is why hiring an experienced criminal defense attorney is critical. Their priority is to preserve your constitutional rights at all times, in addition to providing legal representation. If you’re in the Marion County, Florida area, I invite you to reach out to me at the Law Offices of David Mengers. You will find that not only do I have the experience you need on your side, but that I also take the time to ensure your questions and concerns are addressed so you fully understand your options.
From the first step, it is essential that you are aware of your rights, which include the right to remain silent, the right to an attorney, and protection from unreasonable searches and seizures. Many people unwittingly waive their rights while dealing with law enforcement, which is why reaching out to me to act as your criminal defense attorney should be one of your first steps. I can advise you on what you should and shouldn’t do to avoid self-incrimination.
Additionally, law enforcement officials must follow stringent legal processes when acquiring evidence. If they conduct an improper search or seize evidence without a warrant, I can file a request to suppress the evidence. Without my assistance, illegally obtained evidence may be used against you, perhaps leading to an unjust conviction. Another reason to have me on your side is that I can negotiate with the prosecution to achieve the best possible result, whether that means lowering charges, negotiating a shorter sentence, or even having the case dismissed.
As your criminal defense attorney, I can act as a trusted advisor who can help you negotiate the emotional burden of criminal procedures. Contact me today to learn more.
