Criminal/DUI
Facing Criminal Charges?
Do Not Panic.
That is the first advice we give people who are suddenly charged with a crime. For most people, it’s a new experience and an unnerving one. Our message to you is: Take it one day at a time and do not project the final result until we have the facts to support or deny that opinion.
Powerful Defense Centering On You As A Person In Rochester, Strafford & Rockingham County, Nh
At BrownLaw in Rochester, we have developed an approach to criminal defense that is fairly simple, but few other firms follow: We get to know you and your case.
As a general rule, criminal cases do not often go to trial. What may help resolve yours in your favor is educating the state prosecutor about your positive traits versus the picture of you as someone who may have committed a crime.
“I ask clients to take the time to write a brief autobiography, the story of their life. It’s a powerful way to get at a person’s real nature and any problems that may have led to the arrest. It’s calming for the client, it’s useful in my defense and it makes the story we tell the prosecutor persuasive and real.” – Stephen C. Brown
Believe it or not, prosecutors are human. We work with prosecutors throughout New Hampshire and have enjoyed good success finding solutions that dismiss the charge entirely or minimize the damage to you and your future.
We work to show what the circumstances of the crime were and what may have led up to it. When a conviction is likely, we seek diversion programs, drug classes and family violence classes to change the behavior, rather than simply punish the individual.
