Different Types of Criminal Defenses

If you have been charged with a crime, you have the right to defend yourself against the charges. There are many different types of defenses that can be used to challenge the prosecution’s case and fight for a favorable outcome.

Some of the most common types of criminal defenses include:

An alibi is a defense used to prove that the defendant was somewhere else when the crime was committed. Alibi defenses often rely on witness testimony, video surveillance, or other types of evidence.
Self-defense is a defense that is used to prove that the defendant used reasonable force to protect themselves from harm. Self-defense is a common defense in assault and battery cases.
Insanity is a defense that is used to prove that the defendant did not have the mental capacity to understand that their actions were wrong. Insanity defenses are relatively rare and can be difficult to prove.
Entrapment is a defense that is used to prove that the defendant was induced or coerced by law enforcement to commit a crime that they would not have otherwise committed. Entrapment defenses are relatively rare and can be difficult to prove.
The Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution protects individuals from unreasonable searches and seizures. If the police obtained evidence against you through an illegal search and seizure, it may be possible to have that evidence suppressed.

Our Jacksonville criminal defense attorney can review the facts of your case and help you determine the best defense strategy for your situation.

"Forever Grateful"
Russell McMormick’s firm has been amazing. We reached out to his law firm for help and were given clear instructions on how to move forward. We followed those instructions and my son was given early termination. We are so grateful!

The first conversation that I had with him gave me peace as a Mother knowing that my son would have the right attorney in his corner. He always responded to messages and his confidence and experience were exemplary.

Mr. McCormick and his staff were on top of things from the very beginning. He kept me updated as the case progressed. Always returned my phone calls and answered all of my questions. He went above and beyond anything we expected.

Mr. McCormick came highly recommended. We have never been through any legal situations in our life so this was very stressful for our family. After discussing our situation with him we felt a sense of relief. Our overall outcome was better than we expected

He took what I was given and ran with it. Nothing but success, happiness, and gratefulness when it all came to an end! You will NOT be let down!! If I could give a 10-star rating, he’d definitely have it!!

"Other Attorneys Wouldn't Cut It"
I gave Mr. McCormick a call and met the next day about my case. Not only did he do a great job on my case, but he and his office worked quickly and did the groundwork to get all charges dropped.

"Russell Was Awesome!"
Facing multiple charges... everything was dropped. Russell was awesome! Always answered my questions and phone calls, and his right-hand woman Dorothy is a great help also.
