We want to share with you some information on what you should be looking for when you hire a criminal defense attorney.
How to Get a Criminal Case Dismissed
The first thing you need to do is hire a criminal attorney with a stellar reputation and numerous legal awards, like Mario Madrid. Our law firm handles criminal cases which range from DWI’s to Homicide.
We represent clients in the Houston and surrounding areas. We forcefully confront the Texas criminal justice system for our clients. There are various means and methods we use for criminal case dismissals, but we start building your case through the common reasons listed below.
Two Common Reasons Criminal Cases Get Dismissed
The common reasons listed below range from how the police arrested you to problems with police evidence. We have used all the legal arguments as we fought to get criminal cases dismissed for our clients.
-
Illegal Search and Seizure
Many times you see this on TV law and order shows. It means the police need a warrant to search your home and your vehicle. The police can search your home, and your vehicle under special circumstances if you agree to the search.
Any evidence the police get if you don’t agree to the search could be suppressed. The end results if that happens is case dismissal most of the time.
-
Miranda Rights
Miranda rights are also a favorite criminal defense technique on TV shows. Not getting your Miranda rights after the police start interrogating means anything you say, cannot be used against you.
The criminal case could be dismissed even if you confess to the crime if the police failed to give you your Miranda rights. The case against you can also be dismissed if the police deliver the Miranda rights in a confusing way.
These are the two most common court case dismissal reasons. There are others, just as effective and efficient methods in getting your court case dismissed.
Two Effective Methods in Criminal Case Dismissal
Texas has about 210 constitutional count courts that hear criminal cases. Dismissals account for about 40 percent of those cases. Case dismissals happen when you use the most powerful legal tools you can get.
If you combine the powerful legal tools with an exemplary criminal defense attorney, you can find effective methods to fight your criminal case.
-
Lost Evidence
Lost evidence happens more than you think. When evidence is lost, the case can be dismissed by the judge or even the prosecutor. But, there are times when the evidence is not lost but has a sloppy chain of title.
Lost evidence may mean the evidence was sent to multiple locations or was placed with various law enforcement personnel. When that happens, the evidence wasn’t handled correctly, and the evidence needs to be suppressed.
In many cases, suppression of this evidence can dismiss criminal charges against you.
-
Not Enough Evidence
Sometimes the police charge people without having sufficient evidence to establish criminal activity. That means they cannot prove you committed the crime you are charged with based on the limited evidence they have.
We can often make a legal argument in your criminal case using the above reasons. We give compelling legal reasons to the judge about the lost and insufficient evidence. If the evidence is not strong enough; the case can be dismissed.
Last Two Reasons Criminal Cases Get Dismissed
We know you are in a terrifying situation if you have been charged with a criminal case. Our legal strengths revolve around looking at your criminal case objectively and evaluating what can realistically be done to get the case dismissed.
The last two reasons listed below represent why our clients have had their criminal cases dismissed.
-
No Probable Cause
This one is used often if the police don’t have a valid and compelling reason to stop you, search you, or arrest you. The police have to believe you committed a crime before they can search or arrest you.
If there was never a good reason, there is a chance we can get the criminal case against you dismissed.
-
Missing Witnesses
Missing witnesses also happens more times than you think in criminal cases. Witnesses go missing or refuse to testify. If the witnesses’ testimony is essential and vital to the criminal case against you, we can file for your case to be dismissed.
We want to make sure we go over all the above case dismissal possibilities, once we meet with you. We find out the details of your case and determine if any of those details will help us get your case dismissed.
If any of the above qualify, we will aggressively petition for case dismissal in your criminal court.
