    A Complete Understanding of the Criminal Justice System

    Attorney Monroe was once on the other side of the legal aisle. He worked as a prosecutor for Duval County on DUI cases. Today, he leverages all that he learned for the benefit of defendants in these and a wide range of other criminal cases. 

    The reality is that a prosecutor’s position is not always as strong as defendants in a vulnerable position may think it is. DUI cases are a prime example. Defendants may feel that the blood-alcohol content level their test showed is indisputable, and there’s nothing left to do but plead out and hope for mercy. But that’s just not the case. There are a lot of ordinary, plausible reasons that a test can simply be wrong or illegally administered. 

    Drug cases are another good example. Law enforcement must follow strict protocols in the securing of evidence. When those protocols are not met, it may be possible to dismiss the evidence that was illegally acquired. And if that happens, the District Attorney’s entire case can fall apart. 

    What all of this underscores is that no matter what criminal offense you are charged with, don’t assume that you’re as helpless as the D.A. would like to make you feel. Reality is often quite different. You may have leverage, and you may have options. You just need criminal lawyers in Jacksonville, Florida, who understands the system from both sides to help you—and the prosecuting attorney—see that. D. Scott Monroe, Esq. will fight for you and for the truth.
