Strong Advocacy From A Trial-Tested Boston Criminal Defense Attorney
Attorney Lefteris Travayiakis has extensive experience defending the accused against a wide variety of crimes. Since establishing his practice in 2004, Mr. Travayiakis has successfully defended against various criminal charges, ranging from simple misdemeanors to major felony indictments. He will stand with you through every stage of the criminal process, from arrest through trial.
Rigorous Preparation For Every Case
No two cases, even those involving the same charges, are ever the same. The difference between a winning motion to dismiss or a not guilty verdict hinges upon mastering the facts of the case. Mr. Travayiakis is meticulous in his preparation and review of the facts alleged, how they apply to the law and how to break down the prosecution’s case.
Moreover, he recognizes that, beyond experience, one of the many important things for any attorney is to always keep abreast of any changes in the law. Massachusetts statutes are regularly updated by the legislature, and new case law emerges almost daily. This means that, in any given area of the law, there are important developments or changes that could have an impact on any case.
Whether he is representing someone charged with murder, drunk driving or a simple assault and battery, attorney Travayiakis tackles every case with the same level of preparation and commitment to his client. By the time any case goes to trial, Mr. Travayiakis knows the facts and the applicable law for those charges better than anyone else in the courtroom.
What Do You Do If You Are Arrested Or Facing Charges In Massachusetts?
This can be a very stressful experience, but what you do next is crucial. It’s advisable to:
- Remain silent. You have the right to not answer questions. Politely tell law enforcement you will not speak without your attorney present, as anything you say can be used against you.
- Do not resist arrest, and do not agree to any searches of your person, car or home unless police have a warrant. Simply say, “I do not consent to a search.”
- Ask for a lawyer immediately. Do not answer questions until your lawyer is there.
These steps are important in protecting your legal rights. Moreover, they can significantly influence the direction of your case.
What Are Your Rights During A Police Investigation Or Interrogation?
Aside from the right to remain silent, you also have the right to:
- Have a lawyer present during questioning. Request one immediately.
- Refuse unlawful searches. Police need a warrant or your consent to search your person, vehicle or property. You can refuse consent.
- Know your charges. The police officer who arrested you must inform you of the charges against you.
If any of these were violated, then any evidence obtained improperly may be challenged. Attorney Travayiakis will diligently examine the circumstances of your arrest. He will identify any violations and take aggressive action to protect your rights, which may include seeking to suppress improperly obtained evidence.
How Can A Criminal Defense Attorney Help Your Case?
A criminal defense lawyer provides essential guidance and strong advocacy from the moment you are arrested or charged. Attorney Travayiakis will:
- Thoroughly investigate your charges and the evidence against you
- Protect your rights throughout every stage of the legal process
- Negotiate with prosecutors to seek favorable resolutions on your behalf
He is skilled at challenging improper procedures or weak evidence through pre-trial motions. These can lead to reduced charges, dismissals or even acquittals before a trial begins. Should your case proceed to trial, he offers tenacious courtroom advocacy.
