Oklahoma Criminal Defense Lawyers

There are few events as emotionally charged as being charged with a crime. The stress, apprehension and fear of your situation might lead you to think that pleading guilty, throwing yourself at the mercy of the court, is your only option. At the Hunsucker Legal Group, our driving passion is for securing our clients’ freedom and dignity by having criminal charges reduced or dismissed.  With our aggressive pursuit of justice, our goal is to make certain that you don’t end up with a criminal conviction on your record.

Being Accused Does Not Mean Being Convicted

Criminal charges are just that – charges. They are not a conviction, they are not an expression of guilt and they are not a permanent mark on your criminal history. Even an arrest is not the end of your story. Remember that the prosecution bears the burden of proving your guilt. They must present evidence against you that surpasses the standard of reasonable doubt, evidence so strong that no argument against it can hold. This is a very high bar to clear, and one that any prosecution will have difficulty reaching.

People are arrested every day all over Oklahoma, but those who invest in themselves can have their charges dropped or reduced. And investing in yourself means seeing your legal situation, understanding your options and hiring the best criminal defense attorney.  Under the protection and guidance, your story can be told, a judge or jury can be convinced of your innocence, and your freedom can be restored.

Invest in Yourself

Investing in yourself means walking away from a trial with a favorable outcome, avoiding jail time, fines and other consequences that might come with a guilty verdict. It’s an investment worth making, and one that you’ll want to make as soon as possible. When you’re facing criminal charges, the clock is ticking. The sooner you work toward protecting your rights and securing an attorney, the greater the odds that you will walk away with a positive outcome and no criminal history that will haunt your future.

At Hunsucker Legal Group, we’ve seen time and time again that the cases most easily won are those in which the client worked swiftly to hire an attorney, remain silent, and uphold their legal rights. Don’t talk to investigators, don’t talk to the police, and ask to speak with a lawyer immediately.

The Importance of Evidence

One benefit of speaking to us as soon as possible is that it gives our internal private investigators more time to gather the evidence that will exonerate you. Our private investigator will comb through all of the evidence, building up evidence in your favor and finding flaws in the evidence against you. This means amassing everything from witness statements to bodycam footage and police reports, even working with forensic experts to analyze data and any lab tests, leaving no stone unturned.

And gathering this evidence is crucial. The sooner we can track it down, the sooner we can begin building your case and telling your story.

Telling Your Story

The evidence will prove your innocence, but ultimately it is your story that will win you your freedom. Whether it’s a bench trial or a jury trial, the ultimate goal is convincing someone on an emotional level of your innocence. It’s a matter of putting them right there at the scene, showing your side of it and leading them to the understanding that you are not a criminal.

Compiling evidence takes a skilled investigator, but turning that evidence into a compelling argument takes a masterful storyteller in the courtroom. It’s a difficult skill to master, but one which the attorneys at Hunsucker Legal Group have proven adept at winning thousands of cases. Building trust with our clients, we work with them to craft this story and earn the privilege of telling it in court.

Your Attorney’s Role

Beyond simply telling your story, an attorney’s job is to put the full force of their deep knowledge and extensive experience in the courtroom at your disposal. They do so by negotiating with the prosecution, securing the best deal for you. They do so by establishing relationships with judges, giving them insight into how they might rule in a certain case. They do so by presenting arguments, evidence, asking questions, presenting facts, information, and witnesses at just the right time and sequence to the right audience in your favor.

In short, they serve as your protector, your confidante and your negotiator. In or out of court, their job is to build your trust in their legal acumen. That trust will play a vital role in shaping their ability to anticipate the prosecutions’ arguments, identifying weaknesses in the case against you and thinking quickly on their feet during the heat of a criminal trial.

Getting a Second Opinion

Even if you are completely satisfied with the arguments your attorney has created and the experience they bring to the table, it can still be important to get a second opinion. Not only will it give you a more thorough understanding of your case and a different perspective, it can help you get ahead of any undiscovered opportunities, discover evidence that may have been overlooked, avoid costly mistakes down the road and give you peace of mind that you are exploring every possible avenue before making an informed decision.

You may be confident in your attorney’s approach, but it never hurts to explore alternative strategies and look at your case with a fresh set of eyes.
