All citizens accused of crimes have rights which cannot be withheld from anyone, including the Government. These rights are as old as this nation, and are in the United States Constitution. You may have heard of Miranda rights. If you were not read your rights by arresting or investigating police officers or Government agents, then your constitutional rights may have been violated.
Bryan Owens has extensive experience representing those accused of crimes and will ensure that your rights are fully protected. Following is a brief discussion of some of your rights and just some of the techniques which Bryan will use to protect your rights.
Right to Counsel
The criminal process is a complicated process which requires specific skills and knowledge to successfully maneuver in order to ensure that the rights of the accused are fully protected. An experienced defense lawyer is essential to accompany an accused through the process. In this process a defense lawyer filed motions, investigates the charges and communicates with the prosecution and others on behalf of the accused.
Bryan Owens will ensure that the government discloses all of the evidence which the government possesses. With this evidence we can properly evaluate the strength of the government’s case and develop appropriate defenses to the charges. He will also evaluate the actions of the government to ensure that procedures were followed and that no rights were trampled. A proper evaluation of the seizure of any evidence is indispensible to your defense. In the event that any persons or evidence were seized in violation of constitutional protections, a Motion to Suppress will be in order.
You will also need experienced counsel to properly prepare for trial. Only when the government is sure you will go to all ends to prove your innocence, including a jury trial, will they make appropriate plea offers. In the event a plea is out of the question, you can be assured that Bryan Owens will defend you at trial with exciting and innovative trial techniques.
Right to a Speedy Jury Trial
Because a criminal prosecution intrudes on almost every aspect of your life, the Constitution guaranties a speedy trial to ensure that the intrusion is as limited as possible. But the process cannot be rushed. There are procedures which must be followed in order to assure you receive a fair trial. Bryan Owens will file appropriate motions and proceed in a manner to protect your right to a speedy trial without comprising your rights with a rush to judgment.
Presumption of Innocence
Every person accused of a crime is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. The Government must prove to an impartial guilty that the accused is guilty of the charged crime beyond a reasonable doubt. Bryan Owens will hold the Government to this burden and ensure that the Government proves EACH element of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt. Unless and until the Government is able to do so, you are innocent.
Bryan Owens is an experienced trial attorney who has tried many cases, including murder cases. He knows how to hold the Government to its burden. Through assertive and innovative trial techniques, he will ensure you are presumed innocent, and acquitted of all charges against you which the Government is unable to prove beyond a reasonable doubt.
Right to be Secure from Unreasonable Searches and Seizures
The Government is not permitted to violate your right to privacy. You are constitutionally protected from unreasonable searches and seizures by Government agents, including police officers. The 4th Amendment to the Constitution guaranties this protection. In the event the Government violates this protection, any evidence obtained as a result of this violation will be excluded and the jury is not permitted to see or hear about this evidence in any fashion. In some cases, the exclusion of evidence can result in criminal charges being dismissed.
