Knowledge

The criminal law in your case will determine the charges against you, any possible defenses to the charges, the consequences of conviction, plea bargain opportunities, jury and bench trials, and appeal.

Many believe that the criminal law is basically the law defining the criminal offense. Though knowledge of the elements of the crime for which you are accused is critically important, equally important is knowledge of the law of criminal procedure.

The fact is, when you are charged with a crime, you need someone who knows the rules of the criminal system.  Criminal procedure encompasses the rules that the defendant, prosecutor, and judge must follow in criminal cases. These rules derive largely from our Constitution’s Bill of Rights.  Among the most important of these rights are the Right to Remain Silent, the Right to be Free of Unreasonable Search and Seizure, the Right to a Trial by Jury, and the Right to be Represented by an Attorney.

The Bill of Rights provide the greatest protections for citizens accused of crimes.  The Rules of Criminal Procedure make sure that these rights are honored from the time a person is arrested until his or her case is ultimately disposed of.  John Winter has the knowledge based on years of experience in the courts to ensure that every client’s rights are protected and that the prosecutor and judge follow the proper procedures throughout the criminal case.
