A Determined Advocate
Samuel Bookhardt III began his career as an Assistant State Attorney prosecuting defendants. He now uses this experience in the defense of people accused of felony and misdemeanor assault crimes. Mr. Bookhardt is known for his aggressive use of motions to dismiss and motions to suppress evidence in order to weaken the State's case.
In every case, he is determined to obtain the best outcome possible for his client, while protecting the client's rights at all times.
The Self-Defense Defense
The facts surrounding many assault cases are not always clear. Our firm will carefully review the events leading up to the alleged assault. We will pay particular attention to possible self-defense motives to obtain a dismissal of the charge or victory at trial. When it can be helpful in the case, we can use the services of our investigator who can interview witnesses and provide other information that can be useful in the defense effort.
By weakening the State's case, we may also be able to negotiate an acceptable plea to a lesser charge. In some cases this could even mean a plea to misdemeanor disorderly conduct rather than a more serious charge.
