The Team Approach
We have a number
of lawyers at Harmon & Associates. Usually, when you
go to court, only one lawyer at a time is in court with
you to represent you. If and when the decision is made to
take your case to trial, one lawyer will be assigned to
handle your case, and you will work with them specifically
as your trial strategy and theory is developed.
However, Harmon &
Associates takes a different approach to our cases than
do most criminal defense firms. Unlike firms whose lawyers
function as an association of lawyers who operate independently,
we have found that working as a team brings the most resources
to each of our cases.
Our firm's attorneys meet and discuss our cases regularly
to assess the needs of each of our new clients, and to decide
on the direction to take the case. Unlike the impression
that television shows give about the practice of criminal
law, most of the work in a criminal case prior to trial
takes place outside of a courtroom. Formally and informally,
at every stage of a case, we consult with each other to
build solutions for our clients. While you may get to know
one of us better than the other two, you will find that
when you walk into court or into our office, whomever you
meet with will be well-versed with your situation and will
be armed with the tools needed to help you at that particular
moment.
