The Right Experience: Former Prosecutor and Board Certified Trial Specialist
As an Assistant State Attorney earlier in his career, lawyer Mitch Stone learned how police investigate homicides and how the prosecution prepares murder cases, including capital crimes. As a defense attorney, he has developed successful strategies to expose weaknesses in the government's case at trial or convincing the prosecuting attorney that lesser charges are more appropriate.
For one client, he succeeded in reducing a terrifying charge of first degree murder to a more appropriate charge of accessory after the fact, by intervening early in the process to challenge the evidence. Instead of facing the death penalty our client was sentenced to a mere 13 months in prison.
In a federal murder conspiracy case, Mr. Stone's client was among the only defendants not convicted on the major felony charge, receiving only a sentence of probation while co-defendants were sentenced to life in prison.
