Motions to Dismiss

Ending Your Case Before It Goes to Trial

I know that sometimes the best defense is stopping the case before it ever reaches trial. A Motion to Dismiss is a powerful legal tool that allows me to challenge the prosecution's case and potentially have the charges against you dropped. Whether due to insufficient evidence, legal errors, or constitutional violations, I fight to get your case dismissed and protect your future.

What is a Motion to Dismiss?

A Motion to Dismiss is a formal request filed with the court to have the charges against you dropped. This motion can be submitted at various stages of the criminal process, but it is typically used after the prosecution has presented its case and there is no legal basis to continue. A successful Motion to Dismiss can result in the complete dismissal of charges without the need for a lengthy trial.

Grounds for Filing a Motion to Dismiss

I thoroughly investigate every detail of your case to identify legal grounds for dismissal. Some common reasons for filing a Motion to Dismiss include:

• Lack of Probable Cause: If the arresting officers did not have sufficient probable cause to make an arrest or conduct a search, the charges may be dismissed due to unlawful police actions.
• Insufficient Evidence: f the prosecution fails to present enough credible evidence to support the charges, I can argue that the case should not move forward.
• Constitutional Violations: If your constitutional rights were violated during the investigation or arrest (such as an unlawful search or denial of legal counsel), I can seek dismissal based on those violations.
• Statute of Limitations: If the charges were filed after the legal time limit expired, I can argue for dismissal based on the statute of limitations.

How I Use Motions to Dismiss to My Advantage

Filing a Motion to Dismiss can be one of the most effective strategies to avoid the stress and uncertainty of a trial. My firm focuses on building a strong argument for dismissal by analyzing every aspect of your case, from police procedures to the prosecution’s evidence. My goal is to identify weaknesses and errors that could lead to a dismissal, allowing you to move on with your life as quickly as possible.

When Motions to Dismiss Are Appropriate

A Motion to Dismiss can be filed at various stages of the criminal process, but it is most effective when filed early. If legal issues are identified during the pre-trial phase, I act quickly to file the motion and work to get your case dismissed before it proceeds to trial. In some cases, the prosecution may even be willing to negotiate a reduction or dismissal of charges if they recognize the strength of the motion.
