A motion is a way to ask the court for certain action. The party will “move” the court for an order or other action.

Motion practice is a substantial part of criminal defense litigation. A timely, persuasive, and thorough motion can cause an entire count to be stricken from the complaint, or an entire case to be dismissed before it gets started.

Before trial, lawyers must carefully examine a case to determine if there are any valid motions that can be filed to effectively win the case without the client having to experience the uncertainty and anxiety of a trial.

Steven J. Weinberg has experience with preparing and filing every type of pretrial motion used in criminal defense.

He has litigated pretrial motions with great success in state and federal courts throughout his entire career.

Not all cases can be one. In cases where a thorough and careful review of the facts and the law clearly demonstrates that it is in the best interest of the client to mitigate the situation, plea negotiations must be considered.

A plea bargain is an agreement between a defendant and a prosecutor, in which the defendant agrees to plead guilty or no contest in exchange for an agreement by the prosecutor to drop one or more charges, reduce a charge to a less serious offense, or recommend to the judge a specific sentence.

Steven J. Weinberg has earned a reputation for successfully negotiating plea agreements with prosecutors. His skill and preparation often makes the difference when successfully reducing a felony to a misdemeanor or achieving the most favorable sentence for his clients.

Steven J. Weinberg has vast experience with sentencing issues that arise in both state and federal cases.

Sentencing hearings require that a lawyer present mitigating factors in the form of documents or live witnesses to the judge in an effort to get the best sentence for the client.

Mitigating factors are those items that cast the client in the most favorable light so that a sentencing court will be more likely to be lenient when imposing a sentence.

Sentencing hearings in federal court are complicated hearings where there is a need to address the advisory federal sentencing guidelines. Courts still rely on these complicated advisory guidelines to formulate sentences, so it is still necessary to have a familiarity with the guidelines, if a lawyer is going to get the best possible sentence for a client.

Steven J. Weinberg has strategically worked with the federal sentencing guidelines for over 25-years He is familiar with filing written objections to pre-sentence investigations prepared by the United States probation office. He has diligently prepared and filed all types of sentencing memoranda and position papers over his distinguished career.
