Attorney Information
Overview
After you or a loved one has been arrested, the only question you'll have is: “Whom can I turn to and trust that has the training, expertise and knowledge to fight and defend me or my loved one.” With over 13 years as a Senior Deputy District Attorney Ambrosio E. Rodriguez is the criminal defense attorney you turn to when everything is on the line.
As a decorated Senior Deputy D.A. Mr. Rodriguez doesn't just know “the system,” he was “the system.” Not only did Mr. Rodriguez receive unparalleled practical training as a criminal trial attorney, he received his formal legal training at the prestigious Georgetown University, earning his law degree in 1997.
After prosecuting over 1,000 cases Mr. Rodriguez knows how prosecutors and police investigate and put together a case against you. More importantly, he knows the mistakes that they usually make and the shortcuts that they take. As your criminal defense attorney, Mr. Rodriguez will use his expertise and knowledge to your advantage either in negotiating a plea or taking your case to trial in front of a jury. Many times it is not the facts that may result in a great plea deal for your case, but the savvy, expertise and professionalism of your attorney when he presents your case to the prosecutor and the judge. Mr. Rodriguez knows what prosecutors and judges are thinking and he knows what they need to hear in order to plea down or even dismiss your case.
And if your case has to go to trial, then no one is better suited to defend and exonerate you than Mr. Rodriguez. Mr. Rodriguez has tried cases from simple assault to Death Penalty cases, and his record speaks for itself. Mr. Rodriguez knows better than anyone that success in the courtroom begins months before the jury is selected. Simply put: preparation, preparation, preparation. This means pre-trial motions to exclude evidence, analyzing the evidence the government wants to use against you, interviewing and investigating the witnesses, and knowing all of the mistakes, weaknesses, inconsistencies and untruths in the government’s case against you. When you and Mr. Rodriguez walk into that courtroom and begin your trial, you will know everything that you can expect to happen.
Mr. Rodriguez knows that it is your life and liberty that are on the line, and he is here to fight for you and protect your rights, liberty and life. At the end of the day that is the reason to hire Mr. Rodriguez; to make sure that you have unparalleled training, expertise, and knowledge on your side.
