A friend who went through a similar situation recommended me this Law Office. I was a bit nervous about talking to a lawyer since it was my first time having to need one. Russell B. McCormick was very direct and upfront about everything, laying out all the options available to me. He was also quite accommodating with my work schedule and kept me up to date with anything that came up or that I needed to do. I’m so grateful he was able to reduce my charge, with the eligibility of getting it sealed later on.- Kevin

Called the McCormick office in trouble, with my freedom on the line. Russell answered the phone himself and confirmed he took on my type of cases. He took my information down and we scheduled a consultation. When I arrived for my consultation, he already had the information about my case,and a plan to come to my defense, already in tow! That made me confident in hiring Russell. However, my case had gotten thrown out (unbeknownst to me) and even though I paid the retainers fee, he sent me a refund.In reality he could have kept it. That right there is why he'll forever be my go to attorney if I needed one. Ready to defend and honest when need be. I appreciate him and Ms Dorothy and highly recommend. Thanks again!- Jones

Comprehensive Support from a Jacksonville Sex Crime Lawyer
- Challenging the Evidence: Prosecutors often rely on circumstantial evidence, which may not be reliable. DNA, electronic records, and eyewitness accounts can all be scrutinized for inconsistencies and inaccuracies. We delve into forensic errors or procedural violations that could weaken evidence and sometimes have it dismissed.
- Investigating the Alleged Victim: The alleged victim might have reasons to be dishonest, such as personal motives or external pressures. We rigorously check backgrounds, motives, and any inconsistencies in their accounts to bolster your defense.
- Investigating the Alleged Crime: Our sex crime attorney will examine all aspects of the crime, from witness statements to crime scene evidence. If inconsistencies arise, or the account doesn't match facts, it casts doubt on the prosecution's case.
- Seeking a Plea Agreement: A plea agreement might serve your interests under specific circumstances. We negotiate assertively to get the most favorable terms, reducing charges or penalties as much as possible while ensuring you fully understand your options and implications.
- Going to Trial with a Sex Crime Lawyer: If a fair plea agreement isn't offered, we are prepared to take your case to court. Our Jacksonville sex crimes lawyer is a skilled litigator who is not afraid to fight for you in court.
