North Charleston Murder and Assault Defense Lawyer
Ask people on the street about which crime leads to the harshest sentences, and the answer is almost invariably murder, assault and other violent crimes. Convictions for murder, assault and other crimes that result in serious injury or death frequently lead to years, decades or a lifetime in prison.
What is less known is the high rate of success in defending those accused of murder and assault. In criminal cases, the burden of proof is on the state. That burden becomes very heavy when the possibility of years of incarceration is present. Any doubt of guilt can be used to have charges dismissed or reduced.
Experienced Murder and Assault Legal Representation and Defense.
Many criminal defense attorneys advertise that they will handle murder cases, but homicide cases are few in number when compared to the number of working lawyers, and many criminal attorneys have never handled a murder case. At the Law Offices of J. Michael Bosnak, we have handled hundreds of murder and assault cases.
Attorney J. Michael Bosnak has worked as a criminal investigator with state and federal offices for seven years, and our paralegal is a former detective. We conduct the majority of the investigation of our cases ourselves, including working to secure the crime scene, conducting forensic investigations, taking photographs and interviewing witnesses.
Additionally, Mr. Bosnak works part-time as a city prosecutor and has served as a state prosecutor. We know area courts, professionals and judges, as well as police procedures. We can work to discredit witnesses and question the validity of sworn confessions and police work. Is the evidence against you circumstantial? Were witnesses coached by police? Were confessions freely given? Was the crime really premeditated? We know how to question the facts of your case and work for acquittal or a significantly reduced sentence.
