State & Federal Criminal Indigent Defense

The Sixth Amendment to the United States Constitution guarantees an accused the right to representation by counsel in serious criminal prosecutions. The responsibility for appointing counsel in federal criminal proceedings for those unable to bear the cost of representation has historically rested in the federal judiciary. Before the enactment of the Criminal Justice Act(link is external) (CJA), however, there was no authority to compensate appointed counsel for their services or litigation expenses, and federal judges depended on the professional obligation of lawyers to provide pro bono publico representation to defendants unable to retain counsel. In addition, attorneys can now employ expert and investigative services necessary for an adequate defense. Thats where we come into play. With over 20 years experience, we have the tools and expertise to assist with the defense of cases at both the state and federal levels. Rigorous investigation plays an integral role in indigent defense services. We take our roll seriously and work hard to assist in the defense off all accused. Presumption of innocence" serves to emphasize that the prosecution has the obligation to prove each element of the offense beyond a reasonable doubt.

Our asset recovery division has reunited thousands of clients, nationwide, with collateral or personal property they thought they would never see again. From helicopters to yachts, tour buses to airplanes, and motorcycles to dump trucks, no job is too large or small. At Metro Service Agency, we find them all.

Videoing Depositions and Evaluations Under Oath

Whether for pre-trial preparation, in lieu of live testimony, or for the creation of impeachment clips, video is an essential tool for any legal team. While a court reporter is present to transcribe the entire deposition, it is becoming increasingly popular to videotape the deposition to supplement the written transcript. 
Let us handle all the technical details and video equipment, and without affecting the proceedings, unobtrusively capture everything that takes place.

 Forensics / DNA Matching / Drug Testing

DNA evidence is an integral part of an identification process. When linking suspects to crime scenes, or victims to suspects, the DNA evidence obtained will either exclude a person from the crime, or confirm that the evidence actually came from the suspect. A DNA profile is specific to each individual. A DNA sample can be obtained from: blood, semen, saliva, urine, hair, teeth, bone, and tissue. With the information age upon us, and technology increasing at an alarming rate, it is easier than you might think to have a DNA analysis performed.

Our lab also offers DNA testing for paternity matters, as well as testing for the presence of all illegal drugs. If you have questions that need answers, give us a call.
