National Wrongful Prosecution Lawyer

National Wrongful Prosecution Attorney

The core values of America’s justice system are guaranteed by the Constitution – including due process under the law.  But too often, the criminal legal system fails to uphold our constitutional guarantees and innocent people suffer.  In every criminal case, the person charged is presumed innocent unless the government proves guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. But sometimes, the charge never should have made its way to trial, and the prosecution itself violates the U.S. Constitution. If this has happened to you, it’s vital to connect with a national wrongful prosecution lawyer.

Pfeiffer Rudolf provides focused legal counsel throughout the United States for those who have been wrongfully prosecuted. Our firm has years of proven experience helping our clients right the wrongs they have suffered at the hands of the criminal justice system.

Understanding Wrongful Prosecution

The phrase “wrongful prosecution” refers to the pursuit of a criminal case against a person without probable cause. It applies to every step leading up to the point where an accused person is tried in court. The greatest risk for anyone facing wrongful prosecution is to be found guilty of a crime they did not commit and endure a wrongful conviction, which can have disastrous effects on their life and the lives of their family members.

Wrongful prosecution can arise from many possible situations, including:

• Mistaken identity. Many people have unfortunately been subjected to wrongful prosecution simply because they matched the description of a subject and/or were in the wrong place at the worst possible time.
• False allegations. Unfortunately, many people are prosecuted simply because they have been falsely accused of a crime. The criminal justice system seeks to minimize or prevent harm to victims whenever possible, and this typically means siding with accusers whenever illegal misconduct has been alleged.
• Problems with evidence. Any evidence that is to be used against a defendant charged with a crime must be credible, admissible, and collected in a lawful manner. Wrongful prosecutions can occur when evidence was mishandled, tainted, or collected in an unlawful manner.
• Official misconduct. It is possible for wrongful prosecution to occur due to intentional misconduct by police. Mishandling or planting evidence, illegally coercing confessions, incentivizing witnesses, or violating a suspect’s constitutional rights are just a few examples of how official misconduct might lead to wrongful prosecution in the United States.

The greatest danger when facing wrongful prosecution is to eventually face wrongful conviction. Thousands of people in the United States have been wrongfully convicted of crimes they did not commit for many reasons, and it can take years or even decades for these individuals to secure justice and clear their names.

Pfeiffer Rudolf can provide the legal representation you need to right the wrong of a malicious – or wrongful – prosecution for a crime you did not commit. We excel at dismantling unlawful cases on behalf of our clients and assisting them in recovering compensation and healing.

What to Expect From Your National Wrongful Prosecution Lawyer

Pfeiffer Rudolf has years of professional experience helping our clients overcome constitutional rights violations, official misconduct, and false allegations that have led to wrongful prosecution.

The average person may not know how to secure the evidence they will need to prove the truth of their situation, and it is easy for anyone facing wrongful prosecution to feel isolated and hopeless.

Our firm has a proven record of successful cases in multiple states that shows our commitment to protecting our clients’ rights. We excel at analyzing complex criminal cases and identifying failures of the criminal justice system. When you are facing wrongful prosecution for any type of criminal offense, you need an attorney who can quickly identify the missteps made by police and/or prosecutors that have caused your situation.
