Birmingham Alabama Criminal Law AttorneysRegardless of whether you've already been arrested or are currently under investigation, it's important to protect your rights early in any criminal case. Especially in crimes involving criminal sexual assault, theft, white collar crime, and murder, the actions of police and investigators within the first 48 hours often determine what evidence is collected and the course of an investigation. At the law office of Lewis & McAtee, we immediately act to protect the rights of our clients by representing them in any discussions or interactions with law enforcement officers. Our lawyers consult private investigators, forensic experts, computer analysts, and lab technicians in order to begin the process of evaluating the evidence against our client. We track down witnesses the police ignore or fail to interview while looking at alternative leads that point to someone else other than our client. Don't wait until charges are filed against you - contact criminal law attorneys at the law office of Lewis & McAtee today. We provide free, confidential consultations at no financial or legal obligation to our clients. Defending those facing Criminal ChargesThe criminal defense lawyers at Lewis & McAtee advise and represent clients charged in with committing the following kinds of crime:
Challenging the Case against Our YouPolice departments have limited resources to investigate felony and misdemeanor criminal charges. Unlike portrayals in "cop dramas" like "CSI" or "Criminal Minds," police and prosecutors don't always eliminate all suspects, handle evidence properly, or conduct a thorough, careful investigation. In violent criminal offenses, investigators often suspect family members first, viewing evidence, time lines, and alibis through profiling assumptions about victims of violent crimes and their attackers. As criminal defense lawyers, we expose the corners prosecutors and investigators cut given the limited manpower and resources they have at their disposal. After investigating the evidence against our client, we put the prosecution's case on trial, exposing its shortcomings and unsubstantiated assumptions. Skilled Litigators, Experienced NegotiatorsIn cases where guilt is not in question, our lawyers work with prosecutors in exploring a reduction of charges or sentence against our client. While we cannot guarantee a specific outcome, in DUI, theft, and drug possession charges, the court can be convinced to reduce the sentence against you in exchange for community service, enrollment in an education or counseling program, and probation. Depending on your criminal record, our attorneys can find ways to minimize the impact of a criminal charge or conviction against you.
