Houston Texas Criminal Lawyer Jim Sullivan
is creative in his approach to criminal defense work. He looks beyond
the offense report. When he has a hunch that there is more to the story
than meets the eye, he digs and delves into the story, searching for
and piecing together facts and subtle nuances that he can fashion into a
reasonable theory of the case.
A hunch is creativity trying to tell you something. ~Frank Capra, Italian-American film director, 20th century
To properly defend any case, you must have a theory of the case that
will make sense to a jury of 6 or 12 people (depending on whether it is a
misdemeanor or felony charge). You must be able to translate this
theory of the case into a compelling and persuasive closing argument.
If you cannot boil this theory down into 1 or 2 short sentences, then
you do not have a good grasp of the facts, the defense or the theory.
Jim Sullivan has
prepared many misdemeanor and felony cases for trial. Proper trial
preparation takes time and requires focus and creativity. It requires
an understanding of the law and the facts. It is somewhat like putting
together a large jigsaw puzzle. You have to search for and identify all
of the important facts and then put them together into a plausible
defensive theory. If you are successful, your case will either be
dismissed on or before the trial date or the jury will return a verdict
of not guilty.
