| "Every case just like every person is different. We provide a thorough case review and honest assessments - all aimed at getting you the best outcome under your individual circumstances." Attorney Ken Christopher |

In these cases we will strive to be attentive and proactive to ensure that you receive the best outcome under the circumstances." Syracuse Attorney Ken Christopher |

We prepare every case as a trial case from the very beginning and will
analyze every aspect of the factual and legal circumstances of your case to
determine your best options and work hard to obtain the best possible
outcome. This includes examination of police reports, witness statements,
physical evidence and every aspect of the prosecution's case. We will discuss
the case with you at length and meet with any alibi witnesses or other
witnesses that may be helpful to your case. We explore all possible defenses,
including whether the officer had probable cause to arrest you or search your
person and/or property, whether there are any violations of your Federal or
State Constitutional Rights (such as your Miranda Rights) or if there are any
legal errors in the accusatory documents filed against you. We will work with
you on questions of strategy such as should we file motions, seek further
discovery, hire an independent investigator to review case, or speak with
witnesses personally.
We will work hard to ensure that you understand every step of the process
and your rights and responsibilities to within criminal justice system. We
want you to understand that you have the absolute right to trial when you are
facing criminal charges, you have the right to confront the witnesses against
you, and you have the right to remain silent or to take the stand in your own
defense. These are your Constitutional rights to exercise or waive at your
discretion and we will not try to make that decision for you. We will offer our
professional opinions, guidance and insights, but the ultimate decision will
remain with you.

We understand that there is no magic defense for every case and that not every
case is a “trial case.” However, we do not change our strategy in these cases and
we will provide you will compassionate, candid and realistic counsel in these
cases. We will use our experience and familiarity with local prosecutors and
judges to advise you how the case will proceed and likely outcomes of plea
negotiations. We will help you build equities that can be used to aid your
negotiation position with the Prosecutor such as letters of recommendation
from employers, teachers and community members, community service hours,
and other mitigating circumstances. We also understand that some criminal
charges result from drug and alcohol dependence. In these cases we will help
guide you to programs that will help treat the underlying dependence and
hopefully therefore the criminal conduct that resulted from the dependence.
Mr. Christopher is familiar with local prosecutors and judges, and how each
different individual may view a specific charge, motion or ruling. He knows
which prosecutors are more likely to negotiate, and how the judges have ruled
in the past on motions similar to the ones he is considering filing for you. He
uses this knowledge to offer you the best representation he can, avoiding
practice pitfalls that may have a negative impact on your case. He will argue for
reduced or dismissed charges, diversion programs to avoid a criminal record or
alternatives to jail.
