A Strong Advocate for the Accused
Lee Ann Breading has over 25 years experience in the criminal justice system. As a prosecutor, she took a large number of cases to trial. She now uses her experience and knowledge to defend the freedom of people accused of all types of violent crimes.
Ms. Breading will carefully review the charge and the evidence against you. She will explain your legal options in plain language. Based on your decision, Lee Ann Breading will work to obtain a dismissal of the charge, an acceptable plea agreement or represent you vigorously at trial.
Have You Been Overcharged?
Police and prosecutors routinely "overcharge" people. The police characterize behavior in a certain way and, based on these reports, prosecutors will sometimes file charges that bear only some — or no — relation to what actually happened.
As a former prosecutor herself, Lee Ann Breading understands the motivations behind this type of behavior. In many cases, she has been able to use the facts of the case to obtain a dismissal of the charge or a reduced charge that carries lesser consequences.
Avoiding Conviction and a Criminal Record
If you are charged with simple assault, you may be eligible for a deferred adjudication and a non-disclosure (meaning that information about your case cannot be released to people outside the criminal justice system). Our firm has much experience in cases involving these types of deferred verdict cases and will work to obtain that for you, if that is your choice.
