As a criminal defense lawyer, Attorney Lefteris K. Travayiakis has earned the reputation as an aggressive and meticulously prepared advocate, fighting for his clients at every stage of the criminal proceedings. Although he has had tremendous success in obtaining acquittals at trial, he also has a strong record of success in the pre-trial stage: from litigating pre-trial motions resulting in the exclusion of evidence to reduction or even dismissal of criminal charges altogether. In some circumstances, cases can be won or favorably disposed on behalf of the client by smart and aggressive pre-trial motions. Attorney Travayiakis commits to a thorough review of the allegations that might give rise to litigating a motion to suppress evidence or a motion to dismiss. In cases where there may not be such dispositive motions to be litigated pre-trial, Attorney Travayiakis has a well established record of acquittals at trial, even in those cases where the prospect of an acquittal seemed unrealistic.
