OTHER CRIMINAL CASES

FORMER PROSECUTOR with over 20 plus years of experience. Luigi has handled thousands of criminal cases ranging from violent felonies to simple misdemeanors and everything in between. He has handled gang cases, narcotics, weapons charges, theft cases, assault, domestic violence, computer crimes, financial crimes, DWI/DWAI drugs, white collar crime charges, drug trafficking, prostitution, sexual crimes and much more.

Like every kind of case, criminal charges are extremely nuanced and require an intimate knowledge of the relevant issues. An attorney needs to understand what the government’s case will consist of and how to attack it. Having been a prosecutor, Luigi has an intimate knowledge of how prosecutors think and what evidence they will be presenting in order to secure a conviction. In addition to that, because criminal cases often hinge on evidence found during a search and seizure, it is imperative that a lawyer understands the Fourth Amendment search and seizure rules, how pretrial suppression hearings work, how to write and argue motions to suppress evidence and dismiss charges in case prosecutors will not consent to hearings and how to create a reasonable doubt if cases go to trial.

Luigi has been handling criminal cases since 2001. In many cases, his clients get a dismissal or a significant reduction in charges so that the client does not receive a criminal record. Whatever the strategy is, criminal cases can have a significant impact on your freedom, career, family life and reputation.

Clients should feel confident that while plea bargaining of a case is always the first strategy to resolve a matter, if clients wish to fight their cases by not pleading guilty, Luigi has the ability, expertise and experience of litigating both Misdemeanor and Felony criminal cases with a high rate of success.
