Guiding You Through the Legal Process

Being accused of a crime and facing potential charges can feel overwhelming as you navigate an unfamiliar legal system. At Suzuki Law Offices, our team is dedicated to providing guidance and support through every step. Here is a breakdown of how we will guide you:

• Initial Consultation: We take the time to listen fully and understand the client’s perspective on what happened before advising on the best approach.
• Investigation: Our attorneys and experienced investigators thoroughly check out all factual claims and collect witness statements to build the strongest defense case.
• Court Preparation: We prepare clients for what to expect in court and give tips on proper attire, communication with the judge/prosecutor, and how to behave to make the best impression.
• Motions: If any issues arise, like unreasonable search and seizure, we move swiftly to file appropriate motions to get evidence suppressed or dismissed upfront.
• Mediation/Plea Options: When available, we assess the risk/reward of alternatives like specialty court programs or mediation to potentially resolve cases without trial.
• Trial Readiness: We conduct rigorous mock cross-examinations and testimony preparations so no surprises emerge during trial. Exhibits and timelines are carefully organized.
• Strategies for Sentencing: Mitigation reports will show remedial work, therapy, character referrals, and positive contributions. When appropriate, we advocate for alternatives to incarceration, such as probation.

At all times, we strive to explain the legal system in a way that you can understand, provide you with the information you need to make informed decisions and reduce your stress as much as possible as we fight for your rights and interests.

Get Help from a Former Prosecutor

Our team is comprised of attorneys who previously worked as prosecutors at the state and federal levels. 

Here are the key reasons why it can be important to have a former prosecutor defending you in a criminal trial:

• Insider knowledge: A lawyer who used to be a prosecutor understands how the other side thinks and strategizes a case. They know what evidence prosecutors typically look for and how they might build their case.
• Experience with trials: Prosecutors spend their careers trying criminal cases in court. A former prosecutor turned defense attorney understands the ins and outs of a criminal trial and the procedures for the specific courts.
• Credibility with prosecutors: Having a former “colleague” defending you may help the prosecutors take your case a bit more seriously and be more open to negotiating a plea deal in some situations.
• Understanding of the process: No one knows the criminal justice system quite like a prosecutor. A former prosecutor on your defense team can navigate the process more smoothly and advise you on realistic outcomes.
• Identification of weaknesses: Years spent trying cases from the other perspective help a former prosecutor spot issues, flaws, or room for reasonable doubt in the prosecution’s evidence or strategy.
