More and more often criminal cases are being fought on the forensic front: DNA evidence, forensic pathology, cellphone technology, computer forensics and expert testimony of all kinds. It is imperative that today's criminal defense attorney be familiar with the forensics involved in criminal cases and adept at defending and presenting forensic evidence. Prosecutors frequently use "experts" hoping to sway the jury, but far too often, these experts are less than qualified, have used questionable methods or have reached faulty conclusions.
Forensic knowledge in criminal law proceedings is crucial. I have more than 20 years of experience as a criminal defense lawyer and a Ph.D. in criminology. In my career as an attorney, I have obtained extensive experience and knowledge regarding forensic evidence and procedures. When combined with my commitment to thorough research and dedicated case preparation, this knowledge is a tremendous benefit to my clients.
"Where many attorneys might read a forensic report and move forward under the presumption that everything is accurate, I break down this evidence thoroughly to bolster my clients' cases. I have the knowledge and experience in scientific method to break down this evidence, find errors and win for my clients."
My knowledge of forensics benefits my clients in a variety of ways:
These are just a few of the important aspects of forensics I handle in my practice. My experience and knowledge provide benefit in understanding complex scientific evidence, cross-examination of expert witnesses and other important aspects of criminal defense.
"I challenge everything. Working with a private investigator and a team of forensic experts, I leave no stone unturned. If there is any error in the forensic evidence, I will find it."
I offer free initial consultations and have offices in Lancaster and Athens, Ohio.
