What an Indictment Means for Your Defense
When a felony assault case moves forward through an indictment, it means the District Attorney has decided to pursue the charges in Westchester County Court. While this is an important stage in the process, it is not a conviction, and it does not mean the outcome has already been decided.
Instead, it marks the point where both sides begin preparing the case in earnest. Evidence is closely examined, legal issues are identified, and important decisions are made that can influence everything from pretrial motions to the possibility of trial. Having our experienced defense attorneys involved at this stage allows you to begin protecting your rights before those opportunities pass.
Preparing Every Case with Trial in Mind
Every felony assault case deserves careful preparation, whether it is ultimately resolved through negotiation or presented to a jury. Our lawyers thoroughly review the prosecution's evidence, evaluate witness statements, identify weaknesses in the case, and pursue every available legal strategy that serves your interests.
Portale Randazzo LLP brings more than 150 years of combined trial experience to every case, including the perspective of a former prosecutor who understands how felony assault cases are investigated and pursued. We prepare thoroughly, communicate openly, and remain focused on achieving the best possible outcome under the circumstances.
