Video – Attorney Regina Tsombanakis Explains One Of Her Best Legal Tools When Defending A Criminal Case

Ray Hrdlicka – Host – Attorneys.Media

“What are some of the criminal defense tools that you use, initially to be able to say, okay, let’s take a look at this case. Let’s try to mitigate the potential ramifications of it, whether it’s motions, whether it’s a motion to dismiss or whatever. But I mean, there’s some common legal tools that you’re going to use?”

Regina Tsombanakis– Criminal Defense Attorney – Broward County, FL

“Well, no, I mean, basically, you have motions, which you do basically after you do deposition, you have an opportunity to talk to people in the case. I always recommend doing that, because police officers just write a report that is to their like. So, you have an opportunity to ask them questions that don’t have to do with their report, they cannot look at their report. They have to answer your questions. And a lot of the times, their reports leave out the nuances that actually are very important in legal matters. What would substantiate a motion to dismiss or a motion to suppress?

So, those two are one of the main things , and that’s not available in every state. Florida still has it. Other States have done away with that. So, you don’t have the ability to actually sit down and depose, ask them your questions. The officers, witnesses, anybody. That is, to be able to prepare the case, to understand where each…and to ask the questions that they weren’t asked, but not…you don’t want to do it in court for the first time. You want to do it in a deposition.”

Ray Hrdlicka – Host – Attorneys.Media

“And you’re absolutely correct. That is something that is definitely not in the States on the West Coast, where I’m at. And so, you have a great ability to get a firsthand look at some new evidence before showing up in court and potentially being surprised, not knowing what’s available.”

Regina Tsombanakis– Criminal Defense Attorney – Broward County, FL

“Absolutely, I think it’s key to coming up with a strategy on the case. I had cases where the reports all read one way, and then when I got the officers, not one of them could tell me who found the drugs. They all said it was just one guy, but that guy said it wasn’t him. So, there we go. We solved the case. The case is caught because they can’t even figure out what happened when they talked to them. But we would not have known that just from reading the police report.”
