San Diego, California Military Crimes Defense Attorney
Military men and women arrested for committing crimes unrelated to their job duties or functioning as a soldier are typically prosecuted outside of the military judicial system. As such, the rules that govern procedure, evidence, and filings are different than those governing military courts. It's important, then, to work with an attorney who understands our civilian courts and the challenges enlisted men and women face. At the Law Offices of Elliott Kanter, we've represented numerous military men and women in criminal matters. We regularly work with investigators and forensic experts in preparing and presenting our clients' cases. We're also experienced in negotiating plea bargains in cases involving DUI or lesser offenses.
Regardless whether you're in the Air Force, Army, Marines, Navy, or Coast Guard, we have the experience and resources to help you. To schedule a confidential free consultation, contact criminal defense lawyer Elliott Kanter today.
Criminal Charges and Military Men and Women
Criminal defense attorney Elliott Kanter counsels and defends enlisted men and women charged with committing the following kinds of crime:
If You're Under Investigation
If a crime happened in or around a nightclub or bar involving people you were with or know, police may have added you to their list of suspects. It's important to remember, however, that the police will not tell you everything they know about a crime. Too often, people make the mistake of thinking they can talk their way out of being charged. However, if you tell the police something that contradicts what they already know or have been told by someone else, they will likely be more suspicious of you. Additionally, anything you tell police can be used later against you at trial.
If you've been contacted by the police, it's essential that you consult an attorney who can protect your rights. In some instances, Mr. Kanter may be able to convince police they don't have enough evidence or reason to pursue further investigation of you. However, if you talk to investigators without an attorney present, you may jeopardize your case if you are charged later.
