WHAT CAN THE RIGHT CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY DO FOR YOU?


The right attorney should offer straightforward legal advice, listen to you, and guide you from start to finish through the criminal justice process. Patrick Courtney will explain exactly how the law applies to your case, what may happen to you, and how you can help in your own defense. He will develop an effective, proactive defense strategy on your behalf.


In most criminal cases, the first step is to try to have the case dismissed. If your case can’t be dismissed, it may go to trial, where Mr. Courtney will cast doubt on the evidence against you to help return a not-guilty verdict; we’ll bring in skilled investigators and expert witnesses to help. If the state’s evidence is overwhelming and a conviction is unavoidable, Mr. Courtney will negotiate for an acceptable plea bargain or alternative sentencing.
