Building a Strong Defense
There are degrees of severity when it comes to assault charges. Whenever possible, we will seek to reduce the charge or get charges dismissed through discussions with the prosecutor. We will then work diligently to overcome any remaining charge.
In any case, there are a number of potential challenges to the quality of the evidence. We can challenge the challenging of forensic evidence and other evidentiary and legal aspects of the case provide potential defense strategies. The Law Offices of Jeffrey B. Neustadt will use every means at our disposal to build a strong and effective defense for you.
Defending Allegations of Hate Crimes
In California, special laws apply to assaults alleged to be motivated by prejudice on racial, gender, religious, and sexual preference grounds. If you are convicted of such a “hate crime,” you face the possibility of enhanced punishments including a longer jail or prison sentence.
The government has a more difficult time proving hate crimes because they must prove assault itself and some manifestation of hatred directly linked to the alleged assault.
The Law Offices of Jeffrey B. Neustadt will attack each element of the prosecution's case. We will examine their evidence in detail, and develop additional evidence by working with a private investigator when necessary. Our initial goal will be to remove the “hate crime” designation from the case. We will then try to overcome the underlying assault charge or obtain the best negotiated outcome we can.
