Criminal Defense Attorneys in Louisville, Kentucky
Kentucky Criminal Defense Lawyer
If there is one thing that can scare almost anybody, it is having criminal charges filed against them. Whether the crime is a federal offense or one that is handled at the state or local level, we at Romines, Weis & Young have the skills and abilities needed to help you navigate the complexities of criminal law and the criminal justice system. While you may have thought in the past that the U.S. criminal justice system would always favor those who were innocent, that is not always the case. Sadly, numerous instances of police misconduct and prosecutorial misconduct have led not only to people being charged with crimes they did not commit, but also having them wind up in jail or prison for years or even decades. By working with us here at Romines, Weis & Young, you can be sure we won't let this happen.
You Do Have Options
When police and prosecutors are charging people with crimes, one of their most common tactics is convincing people they have no other options but to confess and take whatever conviction is given them by a court. If you find yourself being told this, do not believe it. Even if you think your situation looks dire and there is no way out, you always have a variety of legal options once you hire us here at Romines, Weis & Young. Even if police tell you they have an iron-clad case against you, let us put our decades of experience to work for you. Since we are a local law firm with attorneys and staff who were born and bred in Kentucky, we know how the system works and how to use the system to get charges reduced or dropped. Once police and prosecutors realize you have expert legal representatives on your side, a plea-bargain or dropping of all charges suddenly becomes viable.
We Know the System
Since we have nearly three decades of experience helping clients with criminal defense, we have an in-depth understanding of how the criminal justice system works. Since prosecutors and police hope those charged with crimes will forget their Miranda rights and speak to them without having an attorney present during questioning, they are often able to gather quick confessions that are coerced and even gather evidence illegally in some cases. Thus, before they know it, victims are finding themselves being found guilty and sent to jail or prison. Instead of letting this happen, contact us here at Romines, Weis & Young immediately upon being charged with federal crimes or other crimes that could ruin your life.
What to Know
Say as Little as Possible
When you have been charged with a crime, police and others love nothing more than having people who will talk, talk, and talk some more about what they did or did not do that got them to this point. In these situations, the more you talk, the more you potentially damage your case, even if you are innocent. Whether you have government officials breathing down your neck about a federal offense such as tax evasion or local police trying to charge you with murder, say as little as possible until you have hired our attorneys here at Romines, Weis & Young. Upon hiring us, you can start to breathe easy, while police and prosecutors can start sweating.
Investigating Your Case
As many criminal defense lawyers know, most police officers and district attorneys just want to wrap up cases as quickly as possible, often while doing very little investigating of the facts surrounding the case. As a result, more and more innocent people are charged with crimes and sent to jail or prison. Since we are aware of this, we at Romines, Weis & Young investigate the details of your case thoroughly, often using our own private investigators. Since many of these investigators are former law enforcement officials, they understand exactly how police approach various cases and thus know what areas need to be looked at closely. In addition to using our own investigators, we also rely heavily on expert witnesses who are skilled in forensics and other important areas of investigation. By using expert witnesses to gather and examine evidence and later testify in court, we are often able to demonstrate that our client is innocent of the charges levied against them.
