The OrlandO Criminal Defense Process at Malik Lavw
Initial Investigation & Case Assessment
When you’re facing criminal charges, time is critical. Our defense process begins immediately with a thorough investigation of your case. Our experienced attorneys examine police reports, witness statements, and all available evidence. We identify procedural errors, constitutional violations, and weaknesses in the prosecution’s case. This comprehensive analysis forms the foundation of your defense strategy.
Pre-Trial Defense Strategies
Our criminal defense team employs various pre-trial strategies to protect your rights and interests:
Motion Practice We file strategic motions to suppress evidence, dismiss charges, or exclude testimony when appropriate. These motions can significantly weaken the prosecution’s case or lead to complete dismissal of charges.
Negotiation & Plea Bargaining While we prepare every case as if it will go to trial, we also engage in skillful negotiations with prosecutors. Our reputation and experience often help us secure favorable plea agreements, including:
- Reduced charges
- Alternative sentencing options
- Diversion programs
- Treatment-based alternatives
- Minimal penalties

Potential Outcomes in Criminal Cases
