Arm yourself with information
Sentencing is one of a defense attorney's most important jobs because most cases either plead or result in convictions at trial. To help achieve a fair, just sentence for attorneys' clients, R3 Investigations is proud to offer a unique tool: a data-driven sentencing analysis designed to ensure outcomes consistent with similarly situated defendants.
Our statewide sentencing analysis draws from data from the Arizona Supreme Court and the Maricopa County Superior Court. Combined with information derived from court case files, we identify patterns, evaluate factors and uncover insights.
Our analysis arms a criminal defense attorney with information needed to negotiate plea offers, present arguments during settlement conferences, or address the sentencing judge. It can also be used in post-conviction and clemency petitions.
These studies also show clients the results of actual cases similar to their own and the factors that led to the sentences. The result is that clients and their families will have more realistic expectations.
