CRIMINAL DEFENSE

When the government initiates a case or criminal investigation against you, their ultimate goal is to get an indictment or file charges against you in court. All the cards are stacked up against you, and realistically you are already presumed guilty until proven innocent, which is the opposite of the law on books. Unless you have an aggressive fighter on your side, your rights are in jeopardy. Your freedom and livelihood are at stake. You cannot take that lightly because in our extremely adversarial system the prosecutor’s main goal is to prosecute you, to press the charges, to accuse you, not to ensure your constitutional rights are protected. The criminal justice system squarely puts the protection of your rights into the hands of your attorney. That is why it makes all the difference in the world, who is your attorney. Will your attorney be able to vigilantly guard your rights? The successful result you achieve at criminal trial or plea-bargain is not because the prosecutor or law enforcement advocated so, not because the judge advocated so, but because you had an attorney who put herself on the line for you and fought for you. That is how Ms. Mkrtchyan has achieved the stellar results for her clients in the most difficult criminal cases and can devote the same effort for your freedom.
