Criminal Defense

A criminal conviction on a person’s record can have a devastating effect on the individual’s ability to become employed or on a person’s reputation in the community. In addition, a person who has been charged or arrested could be facing incarceration and/or probation. With your future at stake, you need an aggressive, high-quality attorney who will zealously fight for your rights.

As a former prosecutor, Mr. Cunha is familiar with how prosecuting attorneys prepare their cases or the strategies they utilize during pre-trial motions and at trial. Mr. Cunha is also familiar with the various techniques that the police use in questioning and searching an individual. Thus, it is important that if you have been arrested or are facing criminal charges to not answer any questions. The law permits the police to use trickery when questioning a person. Because of his familiarity with the various techniques used by law enforcement and prosecutors, Mr. Cunha is in a unique position to know and assess the most effective strategy in protecting and defending your rights.
