Innocent Until Proven Guilty
Every client of Timoney Knox, LLP is entitled to an aggressive defense. Our American legal justice system presumes innocence until a person is proven guilty, beyond a reasonable doubt, by legally admissible evidence. In the event that a client is found guilty or pleads guilty, the attorneys at Timoney Knox work to ensure that any punishment meted out is not unduly harsh or excessive.
Whether a person is innocent, has fallen into legal trouble for the first time, is a repeat offender, or is headed for death row, an aggressive, knowledgeable, intelligent criminal defense is a cornerstone protection of the Constitutional rights of the accused.
Correcting the Imbalance of Power: the State versus the Accused
An experienced criminal litigator from Timoney Knox can help tip the imbalance of power that exists between the government (including legislature, law enforcement, and prosecutors) and the ordinary person charged with a felony or misdemeanor. Vigilant criminal defense helps keep law enforcement honest by making sure every accused individual receives a zealous defense, and every piece of evidence was obtained constitutionally.
Legal Representation before Formal Charges are Filed
The timing at which an experienced criminal defense lawyer becomes involved in a criminal case is critical, especially where there is the possibility of avoiding charges completely. We should be contacted as soon as someone is aware that they are being investigated by the police. No-one should talk to the police before consulting with an attorney. Contact us immediately if you wish to speak with a lawyer to answer your questions before charges are filed.
