HOW DOES SAND LAW HANDLE A NORTH DAKOTA CRIMINAL CASE?

 

1. 1. Case Review
2. 2. Negotiating the Case
3. 3. Trial

1. 1. We review the case

First, it is important to conduct an in-depth case evaluation. That means that the very first thing our attorneys do is compile all of the discovery in your case. Discovery generally all police reports, witness statements, audio/video evidence, reports, and crime lab evidence. Out attorneys then go through the evidence with a fine-tooth comb, searching for any legal, factual, statutory, or constitutional issues. Depending on the facts of your case, it may be necessary to submit a motion to suppress evidence or to dismiss the case. That is why an in-depth review is vital to any case evaluation.

1. 2. We negotiate the case

Next, we discuss your case with the prosecution and relay any potential plea agreement negotiations with you. From this point, discuss with you the best strategy moving forward. This may entail accepting a plea deal in order to avoid jail time or to keep a crime off of your record.

1. 3. We prepare for trial.

Finally, if after we discuss plea agreement options and decide it is in your best interest to forego that process – we take your case to trial. Our attorneys have an abnormally high success rate at trial, having secured multiple victories for both felony and misdemeanor cases.
