At Kurtz, Peters, & Associates, we understand the fear and anxiety that goes with a court case in and out.
Our dedicated team will leverage our courtroom experience and unwavering commitment to protect your rights and achieve the best possible outcome in your case. You need someone in your corner who will fight aggressively—yet thoughtfully—to defend your freedom. To help you understand what you need both in and out of the courtroom, we’ve outlined exactly how a criminal lawyer in Miami can protect your rights.
Client-focused representation
From the moment you engage our services, our sole focus will be protecting your rights and achieving the best possible resolution to your criminal case. We take the time to understand the details surrounding your charges, build an airtight defense strategy, and leave no stone unturned in defending you in and out of the courtroom. Our firm has established a reputation over the years for providing each client with an advantage to enable them to conquer the courtroom.
Thorough case investigation and preparation
The key to every successful defense begins with a meticulous investigation of the facts. We will work diligently to examine all physical evidence, interview witnesses, and identify any procedural mistakes or constitutional violations that occurred in the course of your arrest or the investigative process. Identifying weaknesses in the prosecution's case and uncovering exonerating evidence can open up avenues for getting charges reduced or dismissed prior to trial. We devote substantial time and resources to case preparation, so that when we do go to court, we're ready to mount the strongest defense possible.
Skillful negotiation for reduced charges
One of our primary goals is to avoid a felony conviction whenever possible, as this can negatively impact every aspect of your life. Our attorneys know how to leverage investigative findings and defense strategies during negotiations with prosecutors to get charges reduced. We'll fight aggressively to minimize any penalties you may face if charges aren't dismissed. Even if a trial is unavoidable, the groundwork we lay during pre-trial negotiations can be invaluable.
Relentless courtroom advocacy
When a trial is necessary, you need an attorney who will fight zealously for your rights when you step into the courtroom. Our attorneys are known for delivering compelling arguments before judges and juries, rigorously challenging evidentiary issues, undermining the credibility of the prosecution's witnesses, and conveying our unwavering belief in our client's innocence. We'll prepare you to deliver clear and confident testimony, and will ensure your constitutional rights are protected throughout the legal proceedings.
Strategic sentencing guidance
If you are convicted of a crime, how you approach sentencing can greatly influence the penalties imposed. From probation and house arrest to mandatory minimums and substantial fines, the stakes are high. Based on the charges involved and your unique circumstances, we'll provide strategic counsel to position you to receive the most favorable, just sentence possible. We'll thoroughly review the pre-sentence investigation report for errors or omissions, draft sentencing memorandums, and deliver persuasive advocacy aimed at minimizing further penalties.
Commitment to client relationships
Above all, our firm prides itself on the trusted relationships we build with clients. We understand this is likely one of the most stressful times you've ever faced. With open communication, compassion for your situation, and dedicated advocacy inside and outside the courtroom, we aim to provide the thoughtful guidance and support you deserve. Our criminal defense team will remain by your side as a tireless ally from arrest through the resolution of your case.
