What your team gets.

Suppression analysis

Each evidence item analyzed for 4th Amendment (search, seizure, standing), 5th Amendment (Miranda, coercion), and 6th Amendment (right to counsel) issues. Identifies warrant defects, consent problems, and fruit of the poisonous tree chains. Ranks motions by priority.

Guidelines calculation

Calculates base offense level, specific offense characteristics, Chapter 3 adjustments, and acceptance of responsibility. Maps total offense level against criminal history category (I through VI) to produce the sentencing range and zone (A through D). Identifies departure and variance grounds.

Plea evaluation

Compares the guidelines range to the plea offer. Calculates the exposure delta between maximum sentence at trial and maximum under the plea. Factors in suppression impact, cooperation terms, and collateral consequences for immigration, employment, licensing, and civil liability.

Defense strategy

Generates viable defense theories with supporting evidence, evidence weaknesses, suppression potential, and mitigation factors. Each theory rated strong, moderate, or weak with legal basis cited.

Get criminal case facts

Pulls charges (statute, classification, elements, enhancements, mandatory minimums, statutory maximums), evidence inventory with suppression potential ratings, prior convictions with criminal history points, and plea offer details from your matter data.
