A Savvy Approach To Criminal Defense In Riverside
Kenneth J. Kahn doesn’t rely on conventional defenses; instead, he thinks outside the box. He uses the alibi defense, challenges the credibility of witnesses, questions police conduct, or argues for lack of intent or self-defense when appropriate.
Strategic Negotiation: When a plea bargain is the most viable option, Kenneth J. Kahn employs his strategic negotiation skills. He adeptly navigates discussions with the prosecution, advocating for reduced charges, a lesser sentence, diversion or dismissal. This skill helps his clients receive great results, all while sidestepping the uncertainties of a trial.
Empathy in Action: Understanding the psychological dynamics of a case is crucial. This involves anticipating how juries or judges might perceive the client and the case. For instance, if the client evokes sympathy or is relatable, Kenneth J. Kahn might focus on presenting his client at his or her best during the trial. This approach aims to foster a connection between the client and the court, potentially influencing the case’s outcome.

The Many Sides Of A Strategic Legal Defense
Mr. Kahn offers his clients representation before formal charges are filed with the court (“prefiling”). During this phase, Mr. Kahn works to influence the prosecution’s decision of whether or not charges should be filed. This can involve presenting evidence, providing information to detectives or prosecutors, and negotiating to prevent charges from being filed altogether. Prefiling representation helps to shape the outcome of a potential criminal case before it formally begins.
If the prosecuting attorney proceeds to file charges, Mr. Kahn will represent his clients at their arraignment and preliminary hearing. During these early stages of the case, he works to assess the evidence against his client, negotiate with prosecutors, and explore whether there is a possibility of seeking a dismissal, reduction of charges, or other alternatives. The preliminary hearing is a critical point in the client’s case. It is where the judge hears prosecution witness testimony and determines if the government has presented enough evidence to proceed to trial.
Motions To Seal Records
As a defense attorney, Mr. Kahn helps his clients to clean their criminal records. This often means filing motions to expunge or, better yet, seal his client’s records. This can include sealing arrest records, even where no court case resulted from the arrest. Sealing records means that the records are not accessible to the public, which can help protect your privacy and improve future opportunities for employment, housing and more. In California, certain conditions must be met for records to be eligible for sealing, such as the successful completion of probation or a diversion program.
