A Strong and Effective Defense

In a drunk-driving case for example, a successful OUI defense may be possible given certain circumstances. A mistake on the part of the investigating officer, the officer who administered tests for alcohol, or other factors may form the basis for an effective defense. Robinson, Kriger & McCallum thoroughly investigates all relevant factors in every case it handles, looking for a basis on which the charge can be dismissed or reduced. Our attorneys apply the same disciplined approach to the investigation and preparation of our cases in other types of criminal charges as well.

In cases where the State's evidence is strong, our firm has extensive experience in negotiating with District Attorneys for reduced charges or to achieve alternative sentencing options such as deferred disposition, drug court, and other programs. Each outcome we obtain is dependant on the facts of your particular case.

A conviction in a criminal matter can have significant adverse effects, not just in the present, but in the future as well. Robinson, Kriger & McCallum will work to build a strong defense designed to protect your rights, preserve your freedom, and obtain the best outcome possible.
