OUR TEAM GETS RESULTS.

• “Charges Dismissed” on the day before trial in a multi-count 1st degree felony criminal sexual conduct case after Karl won a fight over the validity of computer evidence.
• “Charges Dismissed” by the judge in a marijuana case where Karl successfully argued his client’s Medical Marijuana card provided an affirmative defense.
• “Charges Dismissed” before trial when the Federal Judge granted Karl’s motion to suppress evidence illegally obtained by the U.S. Forest Service officer’s unlawful search.
• “Charges Dismissed” in a felony drug case involving a car accident where Karl was able to challenge the State Police Crime Lab drug analysis.
• “Charges Dismissed” in a felony DUI case after Karl convinced the judge to rule the blood tests results were not admissible at trial.
• “Charges Dismissed” by the prosecutor in a felony home invasion and felony assault case after Karl destroyed the credibility of the accuser during hearings.
• “Charges Dismissed” in a multi-count-defendant, complex felony fraud case after the preliminary examination.

Sometimes the fight can be won before the battle ever begins.  In The Art of War, philosopher and military strategist Sun Tzu reasoned that, “To win without fighting is best.”  Karl embraces this philosophy and applies it to his criminal defense practice.  He has won more cases before trial by attacking illegal police procedures, disclosing fatal flaws in the prosecutor’s evidence, and revealing the deceptions of accusing witnesses.  The above are just a few examples of “winning without fighting”.

Criminal defense is highly specialized area of law and a potential mine field for the inexperienced.  When your very liberty is at stake, you want an attorney who has been there before and can guide you through the mine field without stepping on a land mine.  Karl Numinen and his team devote a substantial part of their practice to criminal defense and they are constantly striving to hone their skills.
