We advocate for your best interests at each stage of the criminal process, as outlined below.

Arrest Procedure

  • We ensure the correct legal procedure was followed in your arrest by the authorities and can prevent you from saying or doing anything that may prejudice your position.

Bail Hearings

  • When bail is set at a hearing, we passionately present reasons to the judge why you should be granted bail so you do not have to remain in jail and can argue to have the figure reduced where this is a high figure.

Plea Bargaining

  • We can negotiate and evaluate plea bargains with the prosecution, ensuring you have an informed choice about the implications of a plea bargain, and can evaluate the benefits of the bargain against the likely outcome if we proceed to trial.

Trial

  • We proceed to trial and passionately present your defense and counter the prosecution’s arguments, aiming to have your charges dismissed and you found not guilty.

Sentencing

  • When you plead or are found guilty, we can argue for you to receive a more favorable sentence, based on your unique circumstances and mitigating factors.

Having our attorneys on your case ensures the proper legal procedure is upheld, providing you with a fair trial. Most significantly, hiring an attorney from The Bussey Law Firm, P.C. gives you a drastically better chance of having your case dismissed or sentence reduced than if you were unrepresented or use a public defender.
