Criminal Defense Attorney in Buford Highway

Question: Can an eyewitness be called up to the stand, by the defendant, to testify anytime during the trial or does the eyewitness have to be registered with the court prior to trial in order to be able to testify during the trial?

Answer: The defendant is free to call a witness on his behalf in his case in chief. The defendant does not have the right to call a witness until the state completes its case. The defendant cannot call a witness that is not on his witness list, which must be filed at least five days before trial.

About Me

I hung a shingle in February 2000, because I saw that individuals charged with criminal offenses were being underserved by the attorneys practicing criminal law. Since February 2000, I have represented more than two thousand criminal clients. I only practice criminal law, but I do everything from violations of probation to Supreme Court appeals. There are few attorneys under the age of sixty that have my level of experience. I have tried more than two hundred major felony jury trials. I have tried more than fifty misdemeanor jury trials. In Philadelphia as a prosecutor, I tried more than two thousand bench trials. I have conducted more than three thousand preliminary hearings and bond hearings. Yet, I still have the energy at forty-five to serve my current clients. There is nothing that will occur in a courtroom that I have not experienced before. When you are looking for an attorney, experience is everything.
