Tough advocacy from Manchester criminal defense attorneys

Understanding the complexities of the law and the legal process provides an advantage when maneuvering through your unique and complex case. The best legal representation comes from someone who has worked on both sides of the system as a prosecutor and a defense attorney. That’s exactly what you get from the legal professionals at Barry, Taylor & Levesque, LLC. We understand the key evidence prosecutors are looking for and how they intend to use it, which gives your defense an edge.

We take the time to thoroughly advise you of your options, even when you are facing an uphill battle. We believe in dealing with clients in a realistic, honest manner so that you do not become blindsided should you have some tough decisions to make based on your particular circumstances. We strongly believe in being presumed innocent until proven guilty, and we will never stop advocating to uphold this right on your behalf.

Each crime has variables that can affect the final outcome – mitigating circumstances or enhancements stemming from additional charges. No one can guarantee you results but based on the facts of your case and the available evidence, there may be room to negotiate under even the worst of scenarios.

Depending upon the gravity of your crime, some of the potential punishments you could be looking at include:

  • Incarceration
  • Suspension of a professional license
  • Suspension or expulsion from school resulting in loss of paid tuition
  • Denial of admission to college, training programs or military enlistment stunting your earning potential
  • Payment of fines and legal fees
  • Discharge from employment
  • Loss of rights
  • Mandatory community services

Having a highly experienced criminal defense attorney can make all the difference between receiving the maximum penalty under the law, receiving a reduced sentence, or even being granted a dismissal of charges, or an acquittal should you go to trial.

Why hire our criminal defense lawyers in Manchester?

Time is of the essence when you have been charged with a crime. Evidence the police collected may not be the only evidence available. Unfortunately, the longer you wait to seek representation, the harder it may be to secure any proof of your innocence that could still be obtained.

The goal of the police is to close a case, and the prosecutor’s focus is on maintaining a winning record, which means using every avenue to ensure your conviction. Your case needs an aggressive defense strategy to counter the state’s objectives. Having a former prosecutor on your side provides an inside perspective on the best approach to take with your case.

As your attorneys we have a vested interest in safeguarding your constitutional rights. Ways we do this include:

  • Listening to your side
  • Attending police interviews and lineups
  • Attending hearings
  • Investigating allegations, witnesses and other evidence to find discrepancies
  • Reviewing and analyzing the credibility of the evidence
  • Talking to witnesses
  • Seeking dismissal based on inadequate evidence
  • Negotiating pleas
  • Vigorously defending you if your case proceeds to trial

Accusations are not always indicative of the truth, yet they have the ability to ruin the life of the person accused of wrongdoing. Our attorneys understand that everyone has their own version of what happened but proving it is an entirely different notion. We are passionate when it comes to protecting the constitutional rights of our citizens. Your case is not only important to you; it’s important to us and we will stand by you until the end.
