Our Approach

At The Visco & Selyem Criminal Defense, we take our job very seriously and work relentlessly to achieve the very best results for our clients in court. We strongly believe that a well-planned defense strategy can make all the difference between a criminal conviction – and a verdict of “not guilty.”

Benefits Of Having An Experienced Criminal Defense Team

A criminal defense team (or CDT for short) is an invaluable asset to any defendant charged with a crime. Attorneys and investigators working as a team can accomplish much more than any one person could on their own, regardless of how capable the individual may be. At the Visco & Selyem Criminal Defense, we work as a team with all relevant and qualified individuals to provide you with a world-class defense. The following things are just some of the benefits of having us as your expert CDT.

Avoid Or Reduce The Risk Of Incarceration

Our criminal defense team can help a defendant avoid or reduce the risk of incarceration, fines, and other penalties such as sex offender registration and immigration consequences. We can assist in identifying defenses that will lead to obtaining case dismissals and unraveling offenses charged which could result in reduced charges for their client.

Negotiating Plea Bargains

We can also be instrumental in negotiating plea bargains with prosecutors. If negotiations fail, a good attorney working on behalf of his client should know how to defend against serious crimes successfully while mitigating any potential consequences through effective trial strategy and effective legal maneuverings. With so much at stake, no defendant should ever represent himself (or herself) without the assistance of a professional. The complexities of the American legal system as it relates to criminal cases is mind boggling and requires the assistance of those who specialize in this area of law.

Police Investigations

We are invaluable during police investigations as well. We know what questions to ask and how to handle law enforcement officials effectively and appropriately so as to accomplish whatever goal we may have (obtaining evidence, identifying other suspects, determining if alibis are plausible, etc.). There’s nothing more dangerous than an amateur representing himself against seasoned police investigators who know what they’re doing. A defendant with no legal training will oftentimes say or do things that could come back to haunt him at trial by either hurting his case or giving the prosecution additional hurdles to jump. This also applies to court-appointed defense.

Peace Of Mind

Being represented by our professional criminal defense team provides a defendant with the peace of mind in knowing that they have people working on their case who are more knowledgeable about what they’re doing than he is. Sure, this may seem like it’s not much but if you’ve never been in this situation before then let me try to put it into perspective: Imagine your doctor told you that you had cancer and that you need to have immediate chemotherapy treatment. He then tells you “You’ll be fine, I’ve done this procedure many times.” Would you feel more at ease with him performing the treatment on your body or would little ol’ you do it? There are numerous procedures performed by physicians every day that require assistance from nurses and other assistants so why should criminal cases be any different?
