Why Nick Carlin?

Attorney Nick Carlin's unique approach to Criminal Law

  1. The purpose of a criminal lawyer in every case is to do everything possible to win.


  2. Be aggressive and enthusiastic. Question your client in detail about facts - and listen to the answers. These answers are usually accurate and valuable.


  3. Read details in the charge sheet. Track down witnesses listed - particularly those not being used by the Prosecutor. They are likely to be useful.


  4. Go to the scene of the crime at the relevant time of day. Traffic, lighting and obstructions to witness identification may be issues. In one of my murder shooting cases, the prosecutor claimed a neighbor saw my client leave his house at 8:00 p.m. on January 12. After detailed discovery - the prosecutor said this witness saw my client through a window.

    I went to the murder neighborhood. For the witness to see my client on his front porch and across the street; he would have had to be looking out his second story window from an unnatural angle and through a tree.

    This impending trial was in the summer, but on January 12, it would have been dark at 8:00 p.m. I would not know line of sight evidence like this - or how to question it in trial - if I had not visited the crime scene.


  5. Be versed in forensic investigation (see criminal cases for examples ).


  6. Keep digging up more facts. The harder you dig - the luckier you get. Facts and witnesses start coming together in useful packages.


  7. In court - speak softly - then send in the B-29's.
