Under the stress of an arrest or police questioning, even an innocent comment can be twisted by prosecutors. Andrew Weisberg will advise you on how to interact with investigators, guide you on what to say-or not say-and, when necessary, communicate directly on your behalf so you don’t inadvertently jeopardize your case.
By conducting a top notch investigation to give you the edge in court. In criminal defense, the quality of your evidence often determines the strength of your case.

Mr. Weisberg moves fast to locate, preserve, and present this information before it’s lost.

Even family members, friends, or coworkers can play a valuable role by attesting to your honesty, stability, and good character. Drawing on years of courtroom experience, Andrew M. Weisberg knows how to locate credible witnesses, earn their cooperation, and present their testimony in a way that gives your defense real power.
