Defending Clients Charged with Assault or Homicide
If you have been charged with a violent crime in New York's Hudson Valley, call an experienced trial attorney who knows how to hold the prosecution to its demanding burden of proof. Contact the law firm of Jonathan R. Sennett, P.C., to learn more about your legal options.
An aggressive defense begins with your due process rights: Proof beyond a reasonable doubt
In the eyes of the law, you're innocent unless and until the prosecution carries an extremely heavy burden of proof — guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Your presumption of innocence is your most powerful weapon in defense of any criminal charge, particularly violent crimes. At our law firm, we analyze the specific charges and the evidence against you to assess whether or not the government will have the ability to prove your guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
Our goal is to prepare your strongest trial defense from the earliest stages of the case so we can navigate the course of your case from a position of strength. Through thorough and early preparation we work to resolve the case as favorably to the client as possible; whether through a negotiated plea, motion to dismiss or a trial.
We put the presumption of innocence to work for you
Jonathan Sennett's extensive criminal trial and appellate experience means that the jury will hear early and often about important gaps in the evidence, inconsistencies in witness's statements, and the continuing doubts about the government's case that encourages the jury to find you not guilty.
We represent people charged with a variety of crimes of violence including:
- Homicide and murder charges, including manslaughter, vehicular homicide, or charges of aiding and abetting or accessory to murder
- Assault charges ranging from simple assault to attempted murder or assault with depraved indifference
- Weapons offenses such as criminal possession of a weapon or criminal use of a weapon
- Armed robbery or carjacking
A trial of a felony charge is a high-risk proposition that should only be utilized when all other options have been denied and justice requires. No outcome can ever be guaranteed, but I will work hard to aggressively protect your rights.
