What we
see go wrong
Easy to avoid before court. Hard to undo after.
Losing track of your first court date
One person found out their first court date had already passed. Write every date down and check the court’s online record each week.
Skimming past the exact charge number
On a Colorado assault charge, the subsection decided whether probation was even possible. Read every number on the charging document.
Waiting until evidence is gone
Some body-cam footage is kept only 90 days. Ask your lawyer early about records requests and letters asking that evidence be kept.
Waiting on your lawyer with no paper trail
One appointed lawyer went eight days without a reply as trial got closer. Put every request in writing and log each call.
Betting on the weakest argument
Five months of delay won’t get a Texas case dismissed, and “equity” can’t end a criminal charge. Ask where your case really turns.
Asking your lawyer for everything at once
One family got further before sentencing by asking for one thing, a forensic evaluation. Lead with your most important request.

Real examples of how we’ve helped people prepare for court.
Charged with two felonies, a driver went home after arraignment.
Scammers booked a ride to pick up a package holding an older man’s $19,000. The driver says they didn’t know what was inside, but faced two felonies. Inhouse built a timeline for the public defender. The judge released the driver.
$75K
bail the prosecutor asked for
Released with no bail
A driver found a 28-hour gap in the blood evidence. Inhouse wrote the motion for the defense lawyer.
Their partner was jailed on a flawed warrant. Inhouse drafted motions her defense lawyer could file.
We found it’s a petty misdemeanor with a $300 maximum fine, and the State has to show the deposit broke a specific rule.
We walked through the second-degree felony, 2 to 20 years, and each element the State must prove, then built a timeline for the defense.
We explained it’s a class 4 felony, and the exact subsection decides if it counts as a crime of violence. Probation is possible, not automatic.
We drafted a bond motion around what the judge weighs: local ties, dependents and past court dates.
We explained equity can’t resolve a criminal charge. The date was reset, and we drafted a motion to dismiss.
We laid out what should be done by now, the options with appointed counsel, and how a hired lawyer would step in.
We explained the chain of custody has to make tampering unlikely, then drafted a memo and a motion to suppress for the defense lawyer.
We explained that in a shared car, Florida must prove knowledge and control, and drafted challenges to the stop and the phone search.
We explained California forfeiture reaches money tied to sales, not simple possession, and built a memo for the criminal defense lawyer.
We wrote talking points asking the lawyer for one thing, a forensic evaluation, plus research for the sentencing memo.
