People v. MG
Our Client was charged with Felony Aggravated Criminal Sexual Assault. If convicted, our Client was facing up to 40 years in prison. The Victim alleged that the perpetrator approached from behind while she was entering her building on her way home from work. The assailant allegedly robbed the Victim at gunpoint taking her purse. After taking her purse, the Victim alleged that perpetrator unzipped his pants and forced his penis into her mouth. After forcing the Victim to perform oral sex, it was alleged that the offender demanded that the Victim remove her panties. While distracting the perpetrator, the Victim screamed for help from her neighbors, and the perpetrator fled the scene. Although the Victim identified our Client as the offender in this case, her story fell apart under cross examination and close scrutiny. The Victim never told the initial responding police officers about the alleged sexual assault. When pressed on this issue, the Victim claimed that she did tell the officers about the sexual assault, but they ignored her and refused to document it. The Victim never sought medical attention for the alleged sexual assault. The Victim's story was contradicted at critical points by her neighbor. After a vigorous trial, there could only be one verdict: NOT GUILTY!

They entered his residence and claimed that a duffel bag in the living room contained a loaded gun.

The prosecutors also brought up our Client's previous felony convictions. The case was dismissed at the Preliminary Hearing!

Upon pulling our Client over, he was unable to produce a valid driver's license. A check of our Client's driving record revealed that his driver's license was suspended for a prior DUI. The prosecution offered prison time and would not budge. We had a conference with the Judge and successfully lobbied for probation for our Client.

They claim that our Client matched the description of the man and they tried to speak with him. It was at this point that the Police say that our Client attempted to swallow what they believed to be drugs.

All charges were dismissed at the Preliminary Hearing.
People v. FR
Our Client was charged with Felony Burglary. It was alleged that our Client was seen by a citizen breaking into a vehicle which was parked on the street and taking items out of that vehicle. The Police toured the area in search of the Offender. They eventually apprehended our Client who was positively identified by the same citizen from above. Our Client allegedly freely admitted to going into the vehicle and removing items. The items were recovered from our Client's backpack. Through vigorous negotiations we were able to convince the prosecution to reduce the charges to Theft. We negotiated special "2nd Chance Probation" for our Client which can be expunged from our Client's record if our Client successfully completes every aspect of the probation. Yet another felony conviction avoided!
