Second Opinion Consultations - KBW Criminal Law, PLLC

Public defenders do important work. Many public defenders are truly excellent attorneys. Kevin Battersby Witenoff proudly supports that mission himself by regularly working as an independent contractor in public defense. But the truth is, many public defenders are also stretched thin. With so many cases on their plate, they may not have the time to dig into every detail the way they’d like to.

That’s where KBW Criminal Law can help.

If you or someone you care about is facing criminal charges and already has a lawyer—but you want a second opinion—you can hire Kevin to take a close look at the evidence. This is a great option for people who:

Can’t afford full private representation
Live outside the area where Kevin practices
Just want another set of eyes before making a big decision

Kevin will go through everything carefully and give you honest, straightforward feedback. You’ll get the benefit of his experience handling thousands of criminal cases—without paying the full cost of having him in court. After the review, you’ll be in a much stronger position to talk with your public defender, ask the right questions, and give confident direction about how your case should move forward. And if you decide you want Kevin to take over the case and represent you fully, that option is available too.

What’s Included

For a flat fee, Kevin will review:

Police reports
Body-worn and dash camera footage
Scene photographs
Witness statements
Any other discovery materials you provide

After reviewing the evidence, Kevin will:

Involve a private investigator, if the evidence requires
Identify strengths and weaknesses in the case
Flag any legal issues or potential constitutional violations
Evaluate whether your attorney could file motions to suppress or dismiss
Make recommendations on expert witnesses
Assess the prosecutor’s plea offer and advise whether trial may be a better option

You’ll receive clear, candid feedback grounded in Kevin’s experience handling thousands of criminal cases—from misdemeanors to life offenses.

You’ll also have access to Kevin by text for follow-up questions about your case.
