COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The ability to pay your legal fees should never play a part in your decision of whether or not to exercise your constitutional right to a trial by jury or a bench trial, that is one important reason why Attorney Rayburn keeps her fees at fair flat rates.
Whether or not your case will go to trial depends on various factors, including the specifics of your case, the strength of the evidence, whether that evidence can be effectively challenged through review of records and proper investigation, the rules of evidence, and the strategies of both the defense and prosecution. It’s important to know that just because you are accused of a crime does not mean that the testimonial and physical evidence the prosecution cannot be challenged.
There are many ways to challenge their evidence, it takes work by your attorney to comb through evidence, watch every video, listen to every recorded interview, seek evidence the prosecution might not want to produce through thoughtful, careful and creative motions filed on your behalf.
It is unacceptable to simply accept a police report or grand jury testimony and assume there is no other evidence, including evidence that may call into question the credibility of police or other witnesses. Attorney Susan Rayburn is skilled and committed to effective motions practice and proper investigation. Call Now For Your Free Case Evaluation.
