Aggressive Preparation
Our admirers praise our lawyers for their ability to think on their
feet, skillfully cross-examine witnesses, and negotiate tactfully
and effectively with prosecutors. We know that the cornerstone of
our success is meticulous preparation. We believe that the more we
know about a case and the earlier we know it, the better the result
will be for our client. We put a lot of work into the beginning of a
case, from the worst–case scenarios to the best place the client can
end up. It may be that no charges are filed, a complaint is
dismissed, an acquittal is won, or a conviction with a lenient
sentence is achieved. Once we have our goal in sight, we craft a
strategy to get there. We believe that the key to a stellar
courtroom performance lies in painstaking investigation, research,
and preparation. Being proactive and preparing diligently allow us
to control the case. We never let the case control us.
We Work with Prosecutors
We are comfortable in working with prosecutors to protect our
clients’ interests. After our team has thoroughly investigated a
case, it is not uncommon for us to share some of our findings with
prosecutors with the aim of demonstrating why charges should be
reduced or dropped. We believe that our greatest victories lie in
convincing prosecutors and enforcement agencies not to bring charges
– especially in white-collar defense cases. Of course, we are more
than happy to play the role of "courtroom warrior" when needed. When
prosecutors realize they will face a strong challenge in front of a
jury, they often agree to cut our clients a more favorable deal.
We are Discreet
We are not your typical Yellow Pages law firm. While we believe that
it is sometimes necessary to fight battles in the media, we endeavor
to keep our clients out of the public eye - not just high-profile
corporate executives, but also anyone charged with a crime who would
be embarrassed by media attention. When it is not possible to divert
press attention entirely, we work with media professionals so news
coverage is more favorable than it might be otherwise.
We Take Pride in Our Motions
At every stage of litigation, motions are often the key to winning -
a fact that many attorneys overlook or simply cannot take advantage
of due to a lack of skill. Our attorneys, on the other hand, have
extensive experience at winning important, often decisive motions
based on Constitutional, procedural, and evidentiary law. Time after
time, our attorneys have won or dramatically improved the prospects
for a client’s victory or won cases outright at trial by prevailing
on pretrial motions. As a corollary, we have also had extraordinary
success persuading judges to give jury instructions favorable to our
clients.
We Pay Attention to Details
We believe in the paradox of looking at the big picture and, at the
same time, paying close attention to the details. Often a small
detail proves to be the key that breaks a case wide open. Those
small but decisive details often come to light by intensively
interviewing clients, visiting crime scenes, or conducting a
personal investigation with crucial witnesses. By scrutinizing
statutes and case law, examining evidence and court documents, and
reinvestigating prosecution claims, we frequently demonstrate that
attention to detail pays.
We Think Ahead--Far Ahead
Many attorneys lack the expertise or vision to see beyond the here
and now. In contrast, our attorneys, with their extensive appellate
experience, always plan for the possibility that a case will be
reviewed by a higher court. In doing so, we take steps necessary to
protect our clients’ future interests.
We Have a Unique Team
At Lorandos and Associates, we have a unique team of attorneys. Our
attorneys have earned not only academic laurels at the highest
levels, but have also real-life experience. This is probably why we
can connect with a jury. Keeping in mind the changing demographics
of this country, we value diversity and an understanding of
different cultures. Our attorneys and associates are fluent in
Spanish, Hindi, Mandarin Chinese, Japanese, and Gujarati.
