The Legal Process for Violent Crime Charges
The legal process may seem like an uphill battle, and it’s common to feel like you're being pulled in all different directions. However, with Ricky Dayaram Law, LLC in your corner, we will work tirelessly to prepare you for what lies ahead, giving you the guidance and composure you need during this challenging time.
The phases of a violent crime case typically go in the following order:
- Investigation – Authorities will gather evidence, review witnesses, and reconstruct events. This is also when they may conduct interrogations. You have the right to remain silent during questioning and should immediately consult an attorney before speaking to law enforcement.
- Arrest and charges – Formal charges are filed. This is the beginning of your legal case, and it’s critical that you secure strong representation as soon as possible.
- Arraignment – A court appearance where you’ll plead guilty, not guilty, or no contest.
Legal Defenses Against Violent Crime Charges
While it may not feel like it when you're facing criminal charges, you do have rights. These include the right to due process, a fair trial, and to be presumed innocent until proven guilty. Prosecutors must provide evidence that proves beyond a reasonable doubt that you committed the crime in question. Many factors can lead to false accusations or misunderstandings, and it’s our job to make sure your side of the story is heard.
Common defenses in these cases include:
- Self-defense – Using force to protect yourself or others from imminent harm.
- Lack of intent – Demonstrating that there was no intention to harm or commit the alleged act.
- Factual errors – Proving inaccuracies in the evidence, such as mistaken identity or false allegations.
- Insufficient evidence – Challenging evidence that does not meet the burden of proof for a conviction.
- Coercion or duress – Arguing that you were forced to act under threat of harm.
At Ricky Dayaram Law, LLC, we take the time to understand your story through an unbiased lens. We’ll explore every legal avenue available and create a strategy tailored to your situation. Count on us to leave no stone unturned in our pursuit of justice.
