In any legal matter
The most important piece of the case is the evidence. The police and the prosecutors will be compiling as much evidence against you as possible – witness statements, medical records, photographs of injuries, and whatever is necessary to paint a bad image of you. When you work with Friedman & Ranzenhofer, you can count on our attorneys to approach every piece of evidence with the exact same care that the prosecution does. Our Rochester assault lawyers will build our own case, not only debunking witness statements, but identifying those who have another perspective of the case, all while countering medical testimony with any details that don’t fit into the prosecution’s case.
