Protecting Your Rights with Principle

Any attorney can claim to fight for your rights or uphold order, but very few actually do so based on their own personal missions. Our defense attorney team at Martin & Wallentine, LLC has always wanted to provide the people of Johnson County with a fair chance at justice. By operating on certain key principles we find most valuable, we have found the foundation of our success in fighting criminal charges.

Principles and laws that have guided us throughout our years include:

  • You are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law: This is not just legal phrase – it is the law throughout the country. It means that the burden of proof rests squarely on a prosecutor to prove that you are the individual that committed the criminal act.
  • Beyond a reasonable doubt: Your defense counsel does not have to prove your innocence; just that there is sufficient reason to doubt that you committed the crime.
  • You are not compelled by the law to testify: You do not have to testify against yourself in the court of law. Many prosecutors try to exploit witnesses by hiding this truth, and we always stand to put a stop to it.
  • We do not have to present witnesses when these will not assist your case: Controlling the witnesses and understanding who is there for your best interests can make a great case into an incredible one.

Defense Strategies for a Court Challenge

One of the initial areas where our Johnson County criminal defense lawyers work to challenge the prosecutor's case against you is to expose any errors in how the police gathered, maintained in custody and tested evidence. Our investigation applies as well to the legality of your arrest. In some cases, we can prevent charges from being filed when mistakes in law enforcement procedure are identified.

When you were arrested, you must be read your Miranda rights prior to questioning. If your property was searched, in the majority of cases, a search warrant signed by a judge is required and you are protected under the U.S. Constitution from illegal search and seizure. Additionally, police are not allowed to go beyond the scope of a warrant if they search and take possession of your property. We review these and many other areas to quickly ascertain the best method to address your case.
