Understanding Reasonable Doubt

To be found guilty in a criminal trial, the evidence presented must implicate you beyond a reasonable doubt. In plain English, this means that the evidence against you is strong enough that any reasonable person would assume you committed the crime of which you were accused. This standard is high, and any doubt of your guilt in the mind of a juror could lead to a not guilty verdict.

The role of reasonable doubt may affect your options during your criminal case. It may, for instance, determine whether it is prudent to seek a plea deal instead. Attorney Cook can help you chart your path forward based on the specifics of your situation.

The Impact Of A DUI Conviction Goes Beyond Legal Penalties

The legal penalties of a DUI conviction are painful enough without considering the personal effects it can have on you. A conviction can potentially turn your life upside down, harming your career, relationships and finances. These effects can be long term and may include:

  • Losing your job, especially if you have to drive for work
  • Losing out on educational opportunities
  • Having difficulty finding employment
  • Increased stress and strife in interpersonal relationships
  • Skyrocketing auto insurance costs

Because these consequences can seriously affect your well-being, fighting your DUI charges is in your best interests. Do not leave your defense in your own hands: An established DUI lawyer, like attorney Cook, will have the skills to protect you.

Defending You Against Theft Charges

Attorney Cook has the experience necessary to help you fight Pennsylvania theft charges. He understands the importance of building a strong defense. When appropriate, he will focus on factors in your case that could play to your advantage. These could include your state of mind (including any intoxication) when the theft occurred, the value of the stolen property and any claim of ownership that you had over the stolen property, among other things.

Even if your situation seems dire, attorney Cook will remain committed to your defense and your rights. He will provide you with an honest assessment of your circumstances and help you pursue the best outcome possible based on the facts at hand.
