Attorney Joseph D. Vasquez has the experience necessary to help with all kinds of criminal defense cases, including the following:

Federal Criminal Defense

Federal crimes can consist of tax evasion, mail fraud, identity theft, money laundering, white-collar crimes, and many others. It takes an aggressive and determined lawyer in order to keep you clean of such charges. Federal sentences are daunting and severe, with no opportunity of probation, so allow us to fight these charges head-on.

Violent Crimes

Violent crimes are usually tied to assault. Prosecutors will not let a fight go down easily and luckily for you, our defense lawyer won’t do so either. Choose a lawyer who can prove you are not at fault for such actions.

Murder & Homicide

It is especially critical to find a law firm that understands the specific evidentiary rules, as they are in a constant state of flux when it comes to murder and homicide. These charges require plenty of evidence to show that you are not guilty, and our law firm can help you narrow down all the necessary pieces.

White Collar Crimes

Non-violent financial crimes committed by business professionals are known as “white-collar crime.” White-collar crimes are one of the leading charges responsible for the loss of employment and property. You don’t have to fall into this oppressed category when you choose a criminal lawyer that can bring forth successful outcomes.

Federal Criminal Appeals

When it comes to federal criminal appeals, you will find yourself searching for a lawyer that has all the necessary legal knowledge, thorough research methods, and writing skills. These professional features are essential to look out for if you want to attract and maximize the chances of a successful appeal.

State Criminal Appeals

Attorney Joseph D. Vasquez is no stranger to appellate representation. Our criminal lawyer has all the experience and skill set needed to reap the best result from your appeal. We can never fail when it comes to detecting errors in trial court decisions. We can provide timely resolutions.

How Criminal Defense Works in the Court of Law 

Being charged with a criminal offense does not have to feel like you’ve been dealt an impossible hand. It is possible to build a defense and retaliate against the charges. It is your right to use your voice and to use the defense mechanisms that a criminal lawyer can proudly provide. As such, no defendant should automatically plead guilty in response to their charges. In criminal prosecutions under state or federal law, a defendant has the right to propose a defense with the help of a criminal lawyer in an attempt to avoid being held liable for the offense that he or she may have been accused of committing. There are many ways in which our criminal lawyer can build a successful defense against criminal allegations, the most common include the following: 

  • Factual innocence

  • Violation of constitutional rights

  • Mental disease

  • Alibi defense

  • Self-defense (assault, battery, murder)

  • Defense-of-others

  • Defense-of-property

  • Involuntary intoxication

  • Duress or coercion

  • Statute of limitations 

  • Insufficient evidence

These defenses are amongst the many that we can use in order to prove that your actions were based on reason and not purely criminal. By bringing about criminal defense with our expertise and skills, we can help keep the criminal justice system balanced, just, and righteous. Since people can be wrongfully accused, our criminal lawyer fights to make sure that you won’t have to face imprisonment or worse punishment sentencing.
