When seeking to remove a titling or probable cause finding, understanding the strengths and weaknesses of your case is crucial. At the National Security Law Firm (NSLF), we specialize in identifying these factors to build the most effective defense possible. Some cases have inherent strengths that improve the chances of success, while others face more significant hurdles. This post outlines the key elements that can either strengthen or weaken a case for titling removal. For more detailed guidance, be sure to read our Comprehensive Titling Removal Guide to understand the entire process and how to approach your unique situation.

Factors That Strengthen a Titling Removal Case

  1. Lack of Evidence / Probable Cause
    A strong case often hinges on the absence of substantial evidence supporting the initial titling decision. If it can be demonstrated that the evidence does not meet the required threshold, removal becomes much more likely.
  2. Procedural Errors
    Cases involving procedural mistakes—such as violations of due process or a failure to follow investigative protocols—are much stronger. These errors can undermine the integrity of the titling decision, opening the door to a successful removal.
  3. New Exculpatory Evidence
    New evidence that casts doubt on the original findings significantly boosts the likelihood of removal. Whether it’s witness statements, documents, or forensic evidence, this factor can change the trajectory of the case. Even if you pleaded guilty to an offense attorneys can still challenge the original titling if new, exculpatory evidence casts doubt on the original finding of guilt.
  4. Misidentification or Mistaken Identity
    A compelling case for removal exists when the titling was the result of a mistaken identity. Correcting such an error is a straightforward reason for removal.
  5. No Criminal Intent
    Demonstrating a lack of criminal intent can weaken the case for titling. If actions were accidental or not knowingly illegal, it’s a strong factor supporting removal.

Factors That Weaken a Titling Removal Case

  1. Strong, Substantiated Evidence of Misconduct
    If the evidence supporting the titling is strong—such as credible witness testimony, forensic proof, or admissions of wrongdoing—it becomes much more difficult to argue for removal.
  2. Criminal Charges Filed or Convictions
    A case becomes more challenging if criminal charges were filed or the individual was convicted. Convictions, in particular, serve as strong evidence against removal. However, if we can present new, exculpatory evidence that supports that the original finding of guilt was in error, or if we can demonstrate that probable cause never supported the underlying case to begin with, even if you pleaded or were found guilty, we may be able to challenge the original titling. The plea/original finding itself may affect the analysis, but it doesn’t necessarily eliminate the opportunity to contest whether the original titling met the legal standards of evidence.
  3. Ongoing Investigations
    If an investigation is still open, it’s typically premature to request removal. Authorities are unlikely to remove the titling until all evidence has been reviewed.
  4. Patterned Misconduct
    A history of similar misconduct or multiple titling incidents can indicate a pattern of behavior, which further weakens the case for removal.
  5. Inability to Present New Evidence
    Without new, exculpatory evidence to challenge the original titling decision, it becomes difficult to justify reopening or reconsidering the case.
