A conviction for a minor crime may impact your life well beyond the conviction itself. These ramifications affect your ability to pursue employment, education, housing, and more. Because of these ramifications, you hire a criminal defense lawyer like Jay Ziemer if you have been charged with a crime in the Evansville area. Mr. Ziemer has helped residents of the greater Evansville area fight charges from misdemeanor driving offenses, such as DWI (DUI) and misdemeanor possession charges of marijuana, or prescription drugs, to the felonies such as possession of methamphetamine, felony theft, burglary, unlawful possession of a handgun and dealing offenses. Mr. Ziemer also has considerable experience in sentence modifications, probation violations, diversions, and expungements.
Those who are charged with a crime, have many protections they can employ against the prosecution. Prosecutors intimidate you, and law enforcement may rush to judgment, which sometimes causes them to perform a sloppy investigation against you just to get a conviction. An experienced criminal defense attorney will slow down the case against you to exploit the prosecution’s case. The prosecutor has a heavy burden — to prove all elements of a charge beyond a reasonable doubt.
Even when criminal defendants think they are guilty, an experienced criminal defense lawyer can win your case or get you a better plea bargain by filing a motion to exclude illegally seized evidence. Winning these motions by showing that the police did not have probable cause for a search or that they lacked probable cause when they petitioned the court for a search warrant can devastate the prosecution’s case. In other situations, prevailing on a motion to suppress evidence may weaken the prosecution’s evidence which will benefit a plea bargain, or help your chances at trial.
