Legal Defenses

When facing charges of Neglect of Animal, it is essential to explore all available legal defenses. At Martinicchio Criminal Defense Group, our experienced defense attorneys will meticulously assess your case to identify the most effective defense strategies. Here are some potential defenses we may employ on your behalf:

1. Lack of intent or knowledge: If you were unaware of the animal's neglect or did not have the intent to harm the animal, we can argue that you should not be held responsible for the offense.
3. Insufficient evidence: We will carefully scrutinize the prosecution's evidence to determine if it is substantial and reliable. If there are gaps or inconsistencies in their evidence, we will challenge its credibility and argue for the insufficiency of proof beyond a reasonable doubt.

7. Entrapment: If it can be demonstrated that law enforcement or other individuals coerced, pressured, or induced you to commit the neglect of the animal, we may argue that you were entrapped into engaging in the unlawful behavior.
9. Duress or necessity: If you can demonstrate that you were compelled to commit the neglect of the animal due to immediate and serious threats or an imminent harm, we can argue the defense of duress or necessity.
11. Consent: If you had the lawful consent of the animal's owner or caretaker to handle or make decisions regarding the animal's welfare, we can assert a defense based on consent.

In order to build a strong defense strategy, thorough investigation and evidence gathering are crucial. Our dedicated legal team at Martinicchio Criminal Defense Group will leave no stone unturned when it comes to collecting evidence to support your case. Here's how we approach investigation and evidence gathering:

Gathering character references or testimonials: We will seek out character references or testimonials from individuals who can attest to your responsible behavior and care towards animals in other instances. These can help counter any negative perceptions and build a favorable image of your character.
