This is only an sample of the types of results that are possible when a defendant has an experienced and aggressive defense attorney on their side. It is important to realize that “aggressive” does not mean that an attorney screams or yells. It is far better to prepare a case thoroughly and to have a reputation as an attorney that is not afraid to go to trial.
The details of any case will vary and only after a defense attorney studies a case will he be able to give solid advice about what the best course of action is.
