Trial Law

Comprehensive trial-ready representation for criminal defendants in North Miami. Our firm specializes in jury and bench trials, vigorous cross-examination, strategic motions, and courtroom advocacy to protect your rights at trial.

When a case goes to trial, the government must prove every element of the offense beyond a reasonable doubt. That standard demands top-tier legal representation capable of challenging every assumption, procedure, and piece of evidence. At Reynoso Erickson Trial Law, PA, we are trial attorneys first and foremost. We prepare cases with a courtroom mindset from day one—crafting persuasive narratives, anticipating prosecution strategies, and arming ourselves with evidence, expert testimony, and polished advocacy to win your freedom.

Strategic Trial Preparation and Case Theory

A successful trial starts well before jury selection. We build a case theory that highlights weaknesses in the prosecution’s argument and emphasizes your version of the facts. Our process includes:

• Reviewing police reports, bodycam footage, and investigation notes
• Interviewing witnesses and identifying favorable testimony
• Consulting experts—medical, forensic, accident reconstruction—to reinforce defenses
• Drafting pre-trial motions to limit evidence and shape the trial landscape

Trial readiness means thinking like a trial counsel—anticipating objections, exploring evidentiary issues, and mapping out direct and cross-examination strategies that deliver clarity, credibility, and confidence to a jury or judge.

Jury Trials: Persuasion Through Narrative and Cross-Examination

In jury trials, storytelling matters. We craft opening statements that establish empathy and context, choosing jurors who resonate with your story during voir dire. Our courtroom style focuses on:

• Clear, persuasive questioning that draws out truth and credibility
• Powerful cross-examination to reveal contradictions or bias
• Expert witness handling that supports key defenses
• Closing arguments that reinforce reasonable doubt and highlight strengths of the defense

Our courtroom presence is confident and professional, ensuring jurors receive a fair, compelling view of the case as a whole.

Bench Trials: Precision in Legal Argument and Evidence

Some cases are better suited for a judge-only (bench) trial. In these situations, formal legal argument and precise evidentiary presentation are critical. We tailor strategy, focusing on:

• Technical motions and legal standards favorable to defendants
• Detailed evidentiary objections grounded in precedent
• Concise, logical presentation of defenses without juror persuasion techniques

A well-prepared bench trial can leverage judges’ legal expertise and mitigate risks of juror emotion or confusion.

Pre-Trial Motion Practice: Shaping the Battlefield

Winning at trial requires groundwork. Our dedication to pre-trial motions includes:

• Motions to suppress illegally obtained evidence
• Requests to dismiss charges for jurisdictional or procedural defects
• Challenges to forensic methods and expert testimony admissibility
• Sealing of sensitive motions or court records to protect clients

These motions often resolve or narrow cases before jury deliberation and can significantly shift trial dynamics in your favor.

Preserving Appeals Rights and Maintaining Trial Momentum

Even when trials conclude, ensuring an accurate and favorable record is vital for potential appeals. We prepare for post-trial review by:

• Meticulous objection and motion records
• Post-trial motions that preserve issues for appeal
• Strategic sentencing advocacy based on trial evidence
• Consultation with appellate counsel when needed

Our dual focus—trial strategy and appeals foresight—ensures your case remains robust, regardless of outcome.

A criminal trial is the most serious challenge you’ll face—and you deserve representation built for that moment. At Reynoso Erickson Trial Law, PA, our trial attorneys bring preparation, persuasion, and performance to court every single day.
