Cases We Handle

Defending the Rights of the Accused Since 2013

The Sims Law Firm, PLLC believes that in order to effectively defend someone's rights, a criminal defense attorney needs to have vast knowledge of criminal law and procedure. He also needs to be a talented negotiator who can convince a prosecutor to dismiss your case or secure a favorable plea deal to resolve your case. Finally, a criminal defense attorney must be a skilled trial advocate who can persuade a judge or jury that you are "not guilty" of the criminal charges. Brandon Sims has the extensive knowledge and experience needed to navigate any criminal case successfully.

Why Hire a Criminal Defense Attorney?

Hiring a criminal defense attorney can be crucial if you or someone you know is facing criminal charges. Here are some of the key reasons why hiring a criminal defense attorney is important:

  • Legal Expertise: Criminal defense attorneys are trained and experienced in criminal law. They understand the nuances of the legal system, the rules of evidence, and the procedures involved in criminal cases. Their expertise allows them to provide informed advice and navigate the complexities of your case.
  • Protection of Rights: A criminal defense attorney ensures that your constitutional rights are protected throughout the legal process. They can help prevent violations of your rights, such as unlawful searches and seizures or coerced confessions.
  • Legal Strategy: An attorney will develop a strategic defense based on the facts of your case. They can analyze evidence, identify weaknesses in the prosecution's case, and build a strong defense strategy tailored to your situation.
  • Negotiation Skills: In many cases, a defense attorney can negotiate with prosecutors to potentially reduce charges, secure plea deals, or obtain favorable sentencing terms. They can advocate on your behalf to achieve the best possible outcome.
  • Investigation: Attorneys have resources to conduct thorough investigations that may uncover new evidence or witnesses that could benefit your case. This investigative work can be critical in building a strong defense.
  • Courtroom Experience: Experienced criminal defense attorneys are familiar with courtroom procedures and have experience presenting cases to judges and juries. They know how to effectively argue your case in court.
  • Knowledge of Local Laws: Attorneys who practice in your jurisdiction are familiar with local laws, court procedures, and the tendencies of local judges and prosecutors. This knowledge can be valuable in shaping your defense strategy.
  • Minimization of Consequences: Even if you are found guilty, a skilled attorney can work to minimize the potential consequences of a conviction. They may help secure alternative sentencing options, probation, or reduced penalties.
  • Record Expungement: If you are acquitted or your case is dismissed, an attorney can help you pursue the expungement of your criminal record, which can be essential for future employment and other opportunities.

Overall, hiring a criminal defense attorney can significantly increase your chances of achieving a favorable outcome in your case. If you're facing criminal charges, it's important to consult with an experienced attorney as soon as possible to understand your options and receive proper legal guidance.

The worst mistake that you can make at this moment is to assume that your case is hopeless. Please contact our firm at your convenience and we can discuss the details of your situation in person or over the phone.
