Mastering Forensic Evidence in Sex and Homicide Trials

Formal evidence plays a crucial role in murder trials, and its complexities can make or break a case. From DNA analysis to ballistics reports and autopsy findings, forensic experts often determine the trajectory of a case. We work with top-tier forensic specialists to review all evidence to understand and challenge the forensic evidence presented against you.

    No-Body Homicide Trials

    When the victim’s body is never recovered, the prosecution may still try to convict you based on circumstantial evidence. However, our team specializes in criminal defense for such cases. We explore every possibility:

    • Examine the Evidence: We rigorously assess the prosecution’s circumstantial evidence and question witness statements.
    • Leverage Forensic Science: Even in the absence of a body, forensic evidence such as DNA, phone records, or digital footprints can be used to build your case.
    • Challenge the Case: We carefully review all evidence, focusing on discrepancies and gaps in the prosecution’s claims.

    What to Expect

    • Investigation & Arrest: The police conduct investigations and gather evidence, potentially leading to your arrest.
    • Preliminary Hearings: The charges are presented, and the court determines whether there is enough evidence to proceed.
    • Evidence Review: Both sides review evidence, including forensic reports, witness statements, and physical evidence.
    • Trial Preparation: We build a defense strategy and collaborate with experts to challenge the prosecution.
    • Court Proceedings: We represent you at trial, presenting your defense, cross-examining witnesses, and challenging forensic evidence.
