AN HONEST ASSESSMENT

It can be one of the hardest things to hear, but also the most useful in planning your defense strategy. The legal system uses complicated language. Far too often people plead guilty to defendable charges because they are overwhelmed by the process. Intimidating, whether directly or indirectly, someone into accepting a plea agreement is not the same as proving their guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. We will explain to you all the aspects of your charges, the different stages of the courtroom process and what to expect, and all the potential outcomes you case may have – with you personally – well before setting foot in a courtroom.

INTELLIGENT CRIMINAL DEFENSE

Merely “getting a lawyer” does not always equate with presenting an intelligent criminal defense in court. A knowledgeable defense can and will make all the difference for your case. The San Diego based Law Office of David Shapiro will investigate every aspect of your case to provide you with the best defense for your unique situation. Minor details can have major impacts on a criminal case’s outcome. Our dual-track approach to cases means we simultaneously:

1. uncover the facts of your case through thorough investigation
2. minimize any potential damage already done by prescribing a course of action which will cast you in the best light to the courts and prosecution

A UNIQUE LEGAL APPROACH

How you approach your courtroom defense will help you to receive the best possible outcome achievable for your case. The law is written in black and white, but many cases fall into gray areas. We believe that every person accused of a crime deserves a specialized legal approach tailored to their specific situation. While many lawyers employ the same defense strategies to focus on client quantity, our team will craft a courtroom strategy suitable for your specific case, focusing on the quality of our representation.
