Experience Counts

Albany Criminal and Military Defense Attorney Bruce Lennard has personally tried over 100 criminal cases in front of juries and court-martial panels. He know what works and what does not work when it comes to convincing a jury or panel that the prosecution has failed to meet its "Burden of Proof Beyond a Reasonable Doubt" to obtain a conviction.

As a former Judge Advocate Lieutenant Colonel and Chief of the Albany County District Attorney's Major Offenses Bureau, Bruce knows what it takes to successfully build a complex criminal prosecution. He also knows where the prosecution's case may be weakest, and what the prosecution's vulnerabilities are. He understands the requirements and foundations a prosecutor must satisfy, and how to challenge every aspect of the prosecutor's case.

Bruce has extensive experience presenting forensic evidence including fingerprint, DNA, ballistics/tool mark, handwriting, audio/video, and autopsy evidence. He knows how to challenge the experts who offer this evidence.

Bruce has participated in, supervised, or conducted hundreds of criminal investigations with local, federal, and military authorities. He knows how the police think and conduct investigations. Bruce knows what they do right and what they do wrong, or not at all. He knows how the police and prosecutors prepare for trial and testimony and how to challenge that testimony and other evidence.

Bruce knows the law and the prosecutor's burden of proof, burden of production, and burden of persuasion. He also knows how to convince a jury that the prosecutor has failed to prove a case beyond a reasonable doubt.
