AGGRESSIVE SOUTH DAKOTA CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEYS FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHTS

If you face criminal charges, you can be sure that the police and prosecutors will bring all their power to bear against you. That’s why you want a strong advocate to fight for your rights just as forcefully.  At Griese Law Firm, P.C., we represent people throughout South Dakota who’ve been accused of committing crimes by providing aggressive, results-oriented defense. We know the South Dakota criminal justice system, and we have both the background and skill to take on tough cases. No matter what type of charge you face, you can count on us to press for the best possible result through tenacious, tireless advocacy.

PERSISTENT SOUTH DAKOTA ADVOCATES CHALLENGE THE CHARGES AGAINST YOU

The lawyers at Griese Law Firm, P.C. oppose charges ranging from minor offenses to serious felonies. Felony convictions carry the most serious consequences. A person convicted of a felony is sentenced to serve at least one year in a state or federal prison and may be incarcerated for life. Although misdemeanors are less serious than felonies, a misdemeanor conviction can send you to jail and leave you with a record that follows you for the rest of your life.

Our firm represents clients charged with:

• Violent crimes — Our attorneys build self-defense arguments and other strong legal responses to charges such as murder, assault, rape and other violent crimes.

• Driving offenses — If you have been charged with operating a vehicle under the influence of drugs or alcohol, driving with a suspended license or another traffic offense, we may be able to challenge law enforcement’s procedures and test results.

• Drug violations — Charges of trafficking, distributing or possessing an illegal substance can result in heavy fines and extended time in jail. Our goal is to eliminate or minimize the charges against you.

• Sex crimes — Sentences for sexual offenses can carry lifelong consequences. We will work to ensure that your side of the story is told and that your rights are protected.

• Theft — During negotiations with prosecutors and in court, we skillfully respond to larceny, robbery and other theft charges.

We also work to help clients eliminate past criminal charges or get those records sealed.

Through each step of your case, we will strongly challenge the prosecution’s efforts to prove theirs. You can count on us to do everything in our power to obtain the best possible result under the facts, whether that’s a dismissal of the charges, exoneration at trial, or a reduced sentence through a plea agreement. Our attorneys know that witnesses can misremember events, crime scenes can be tampered with, and law enforcement can make mistakes. To build your defense, we will carefully examine all arrest records and other relevant documents for vulnerabilities. We may also personally speak with witnesses or examine the alleged crime scene. When the circumstances call for it, we bring in experts to challenge the prosecution’s theories.
