Illegal Search and Seizure: If law enforcement violated your constitutional rights during the investigation or arrest, evidence obtained improperly may be excluded from your case.

Self-Defense: In cases involving assault or other violent crimes, we may argue that you acted in self-defense to protect yourself or others.

Alibi: If you were not at the scene of the crime, we can present evidence to support your alibi and prove your innocence.
