Meenakshi Raghunathan

Attorney

I read the whole file first, then tell you what I see, including the parts that are bad for us.

I came to criminal defense because I like questions that have evidence behind them. I handle assault and fight cases, prepare felonies for hearings, and run our record-clearing petitions. Clients tell me the plain account I give them is the part they remember.

How I prepare a case

I ask for every report, video and statement, and read them in the order they were made. Many cases turn on a detail in the second or third version of a story.

Then I sit down with you and explain what the evidence does and does not show, and what that means for the decision in front of you.
