Newport Beach- Criminal Defense Attorney-Joseph P. Smith
www.josephpsmith.com Before a case has actually been filed in court, a good defense attorney should be able to coordinate with the local law enforcement officers. Show them that there is another side to the story. By actually working with the officers prior to filing the case. Employing private investigators with extensive contacts in law enforcement, we’ll send them out to do follow up investigation, to contact additional witnesses, that maybe for one reason or another that law enforcement did not interview on the night of the incident. If we can prevent the case to ever being filed in the court system, that’s the best possible result we can get our client. All the motion work we do for our clients has a significant impact on the outcome of the case.
