Think You Have No Defense?

Posted by Scott Markowitz | Jun 10, 2025 | 0 Comments

💼 Think you have no defense? Challenge accepted. We build strong cases from start to finish.  Some common ways we defend our clients include:

Innocence/Alibi:

  • Innocence:  This is the most basic defense, where the defendant claims they did not commit the crime.

  • Alibi: An alibi provides evidence that the defendant was somewhere else at the time of the crime, disproving their presence at the scene.

Self-Defense:

  • This defense is used when the defendant claims they used force in self-defense, or to defend others, or their property. 

  • A successful self-defense argument requires proving the defendant reasonably believed they were in imminent danger and used necessary force. 

Challenging Police Misconduct:

  • This strategy involves exposing any mistakes or misconduct by law enforcement during the investigation, such as improperly gathering evidence or violating the defendant's rights. 

  • Examples include challenging the authenticity of evidence or pointing out inconsistencies in police testimony. 

Raising Reasonable Doubt:

  • This strategy focuses on creating doubt in the minds of the jury about the prosecution's case.

  • This can involve challenging the credibility of witnesses, pointing out inconsistencies in the prosecution's evidence, or arguing that the prosecution failed to prove the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
