Experienced Violent Crimes and Murder Defense Lawyer
There are few times in life when you need an experienced criminal defense attorney more than when you face criminal charges for a violent crime or murder. Convictions often involve lengthy time behind bars, which impacts your family, career and reputation. In a world where the scales of justice can appear to be tipped in the prosecution's favor, you need an experienced attorney to fight for you.
I am David C. Sutton, of the Sutton Law Offices in Greenville, North Carolina. Some criminal defense attorneys shy away from serious accusations like violent crimes and homicide. I believe that every person accused of a crime, any crime, deserves an aggressive, powerful defense. That is what I provide.
Defense Experience Fighting for You
I have been practicing criminal law since 1990, trying cases in both the state and federal courts. I have handled complex violent crimes and murder cases successfully, including:
- First degree murder
- Capital murder
- Assault and battery
- Sex crimes
- Rape
- Domestic violence
No two violent crimes and murder cases are alike. I will carefully evaluate the facts of your particular case in order to defend you against serious criminal charges.
Powerful Insight into the Opposition
I spent time working as a former Florida prosecutor in the Office of Statewide Prosecution and an assistant state attorney in the State Attorney's Office for the First Judicial Circuit, trying major felonies in court, before starting my own practice as a criminal defense attorney.
Because of this experience, I know how the opposing side thinks, prepares and handles cases. I have strong insight into the prosecution's tactics and strategies. I know how to identify holes in the prosecution's case. I know how to build aggressive defense strategies.
Before You Talk to the Police or Investigators
If you have been charged with a crime, anything you say to the police or investigators may be used against you later at trial. Law enforcement officers are primarily concerned with the victims — not your best interests. If you try to convince them of your innocence, you might inadvertently give them information that strengthens their case against you.
Before you talk to the police or investigators, retain the services of an experienced, aggressive defense lawyer.
