Peoria, Illinois Criminal Defense Attorneys
A criminal conviction can impact a person's financial situation, family, ability to find employment, and reputation long after one has paid his or her debt to society. Additionally, those charged with crimes face a team of prosecutors, investigators, lab technicians, forensic specialists, and others that are used by the state in criminal investigations. At The law offices of Benckendorf & Benckendorf, P.C., we establish a balance of power by conducting our own investigation of the charges against our client. We meticulously review how a crime scene and evidence was handled, the actions of police and investigators, and whether alternative suspects and leads were followed. Our lawyers expose premature conclusions on the part of prosecutors and inadequate investigative follow-up in regard to testimony or evidence that conflicts with the state's theory of events.
We understand the limits and challenges facing police departments and prosecutors. Our attorneys uncover mistakes and presumptions that raise questions regarding the thoroughness and fairness of an investigation.
