Choosing the Right San Antonio Law Firm for Criminal Defense Cases

Whether you’re accused of a misdemeanor charge or a first-degree felony, you could be facing considerable criminal penalties, ranging from fines to life imprisonment. By hiring a criminal defense attorney, you can exchange money for the chance to not spend the next year—or longer—in jail. Your freedom could be on the line in your criminal case; that’s why it’s so important to turn to a reliable criminal lawyer for help defending your rights and your freedom. Still, finding the best San Antonio criminal lawyers for your case can be easier said than done.

First, you can ask friends and family for the names of attorneys they trust. Your own network is the best place for you to turn for reliable information. After getting names from trusted friends, you can use the internet to find a selection of other lawyers with the right experience, testimonials, and fee structures. Different criminal defense attorneys charge different amounts, so it’s important to talk to your attorney about how they’ll be paid.

You should take advantage of free initial consultation offers to get a sense of the attorney’s personality, communication style, and commitment to your needs. Look for an attorney who communicates clearly and consistently and puts your needs first. Ask questions about their experience and expectations for your case, such as whether or not they’re ready to fight to get your case dismissed, achieve a not-guilty verdict, and receive a fair trial.

You should be able to turn to a legal team that will go above and beyond to defend clients and protect their futures. Here at the Law Office of John G. Perez Jr., our amazing lawyer and legal team are ready to go above and beyond to reach a favorable outcome in your case.

How to Get Charges Reduced or Dismissed in Bexar County

Due to the severe penalties we often associate with these cases, being charged with a crime can feel like the end of life as you know it. However, there are steps you can take to challenge your charges in the Texas legal system. Whether you’re facing misdemeanor or felony charges, you have the right to fight to represent your version of events. Building an effective defense starts with identifying weaknesses in the case against you, and getting help from a Texas criminal defense attorney is key. Below, you can learn about just a few of the tactics we may use to aggressively defend your freedom and reputation:

Lack of Evidence – A strong defense may be built on the potential fact that there isn’t enough evidence to prove the crime took place, or that you committed the crime.
Self Defense – An attorney can work to prove that you either acted in self-defense or in the defense of others.
False Allegations – If you’ve been falsely accused of a crime, our team will use our combined legal experience to prove you did not commit the offense.
Improper Arrest or Investigation – If the arresting police officer or investigating agent acted improperly or unlawfully in the process of handling your case or arrest, that may be enough to get your charges dropped or reduced.
Lack of Possession – For those charged with possession of controlled substances, we may argue that you either were not aware of possessing or did not possess the drug.

Between going it alone and hiring an attorney, you’re more likely to achieve positive results with the former. Prosecutors and district attorneys often fight hard to bring punishment for crimes, and you need an attorney who will fight equally hard on your behalf.
