Criminal courtroom, Charles Holloway can act as your:
-
Intervenor
- Investigator
- Negotiator
- Litigator
To understand the importance of these roles, please read the
following brief descriptions.
Intervention
Once
you have been accused or arrested, law enforcement will summarize
their investigation in writing and submit the matter to the
State Attorney’s Office for their consideration. Some cases
may be capable of resolution before the State Attorney files
formal charges. The opportunity to successfully persuade the
State of Florida to dismiss or reduce charges at this early
stage requires the engagement of a Florida Criminal Defense
or Florida DUI Lawyer as soon
as possible.
Investigation
Your
Attorney will gather relevant information from a variety of
sources, including yourself, your witnesses, police reports,
evidence lists, video and audio tapes, reports of experts,
and depositions. Some cases also may benefit from the services
of a private investigator.
This
information enables your Attorney to evaluate your case and
advise you whether to seek a dismissal of the charges, engage
in a plea bargain and settlement of your case, or take the
case to trial.
Negotiation
Your
Attorney should draw upon his past experience in criminal
trial law in order to negotiate the best possible settlement
of your case. Most cases are capable of settlement without
the need for a trial.
Litigation
If
efforts to negotiate a settlement of your case are unsuccessful,
your Attorney should be both willing and able to represent
you at Trial. Your Attorney should possess the experience
and training necessary to perform at a high level of competence
in trial practice. Regular attendance at Trial Practice Seminars
is important to ensure that your Attorney stays on the cutting
edge of the most recent developments in Criminal Law and Trial
Practice.
As
soon as possible after you are accused or arrested, you should
consult with a DUI or Criminal Defense Attorney to assure
the best possible outcome of your case. By consulting with
a Lawyer quickly, you will allow a maximum amount of time
for your Attorney to intervene, investigate, negotiate, and
litigate the charges against you in a Pinellas, Hillsborough,
or Pasco courtroom. Please call (727) 446-8303 to schedule
a free initial consultation with Florida
Criminal Defense Lawyer and DUI Attorney Charles Holloway,
P.A., at his office in Clearwater, Tampa, or St. Petersburg.
