Developing Effective Defense Strategies

At Salvado Law Offices, our attorneys thoroughly investigate the circumstances surrounding each case. We can review police reports, examine evidence, and interview witnesses. By understanding the nuances of each situation, we can identify weaknesses in the cases against our clients and build defense strategies that will allow them to minimize the penalties they may face. We can assist with:

• Securing dismissals or acquittals: In some cases, our goal may be to achieve a complete dismissal of the charges, or we may take a case to trial and advocate for an acquittal. This involves challenging the prosecution's evidence, filing pre-trial motions to suppress unlawfully obtained evidence, and presenting compelling arguments to demonstrate reasonable doubt. Our attorneys are experienced litigators who are prepared to aggressively defend our clients' rights and advocate for their innocence.
• Negotiating plea bargains: When a complete dismissal or acquittal is not possible, negotiating a plea agreement with prosecutors may be a viable option. Plea bargains can result in reduced charges or lighter sentences, minimizing the impact of criminal cases on our clients' lives. Our attorneys at Salvado Law Offices are skilled negotiators who work to secure the most favorable terms possible, and we also make sure our clients fully understand the implications of any plea agreement.
• Alternative sentencing options: In some cases, probation or other forms of alternative sentencing may be available. These options can include community service, drug treatment programs, or house arrest, which can help clients avoid incarceration and limit the impact of a criminal record. Our lawyers work with our clients to explore all available sentencing alternatives, advocating for options that promote rehabilitation and reintegration into society.

Types of Criminal Charges We Can Address

Our lawyers represent clients in multiple types of criminal cases, addressing accusations related to drug crimes, sex crimes, violent offenses, and more. We can help defend clients in cases involving:

• DUI (driving under the influence): A person who is arrested for drunk driving or other forms of intoxicated driving may face serious consequences, including fines, license suspension, and potential imprisonment. Our attorneys understand the complexities of DUI cases, including the issues that may affect field sobriety tests and breathalyzer accuracy. We work to challenge the evidence against our clients and seek reductions or dismissals of the charges whenever possible.
• Drug possession: When clients are accused of possessing controlled substances on their bodies or in their homes or vehicles, our attorneys will scrutinize the circumstances of an arrest and the legality of searches performed by police officers. We will work to help our clients receive treatment for drug addiction when necessary and take steps to minimize the impact of drug possession charges on their lives.
• Drug distribution and trafficking: Criminal charges related to controlled substances become much more serious if a person allegedly had an attempt to distribute drugs to others. Our attorneys can challenge allegations of intent to distribute and defend against state or federal charges involving the transportation or distribution of drugs in Virginia and surrounding states.
• Sexual assault: Defending against accusations that a person has engaged in sexual activity without receiving consent requires a strategic approach. Our attorneys work diligently to investigate the facts, challenge the prosecution's evidence, and help our clients defend their reputations.
• Possession or distribution of child pornography: Accusations that a person possessed pornographic materials depicting minors can be very serious, especially if they sold or distributed these materials to others. Our attorneys handle these sensitive cases with the utmost discretion, focusing on protecting our clients' rights and reputations.
• Assault: Charges related to assault and battery can result in serious penalties, especially if a person is charged with felony aggravated assault due to the alleged infliction of serious bodily harm. Our attorneys investigate the details of each case, working to uncover evidence that supports our clients' defense and challenges the prosecution's narrative.
• Homicide: Matters involving charges of murder or manslaughter are among the most serious criminal cases. Salvado Law Offices provides defense strategies for people accused of killing others intentionally or through recklessness or negligence. We work to challenge the prosecution's evidence and defend against convictions in these cases.
• Domestic violence: A person accused of committing violence against family members may struggle to respond, and they may face issues related to the custody of their children or protective orders that prevent them from returning to their home or contacting their loved ones. At Salvado Law Offices, we handle domestic violence cases with sensitivity and discretion, ensuring that our clients receive fair treatment and are prepared to defend against accusations of abuse.
