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.
