“How do I beat Criminal or DWI Charges?”

We Utilize a professional problem-solving approach, we first request all relevant discovery in the state’s possession that it intends to utilize in its prosecution of your matter. Once received, we look carefully at the facts of the case to determine if your rights were violated in any way or if law enforcement made any errors that we can capitalize on by way of a suppression motion. 

Next, we hold the prosecution accountable for its procedural handling of your matter. Was the discovery provided in a timely manner? Is it complete? If there are any procedural issues we will not hesitate to file a corrective motion.  

Finally, we aggressively plea-bargain your matter. This may result in downgraded charges or entry into a diversionary program such as conditional discharge, pre-trial intervention, drug court, or mental health diversionary program. If these efforts are fruitless, we prepare for trial.

At McGuckin Law, we utilize a thoughtful and measured approach to the cases we are entrusted with. You will have direct cell phone access to your attorney at all times.
