People v. TG

Our Client was charged with Felony Promoting Prostitution.  He was also charged with a violation of probation.  He was facing up to 6 years in prison for the Promoting Prostitution case.  He was also facing up to 5 years in prison for the violation of probation.  Our Client was arrested after an undercover sting was conducted by Police investigation prostitution on the internet.  A police officer posed as a potential Client for a prostitute.  Once on scene, the Police learned that the online ad was placed by our Client.  Our Client was seen on video paying for the room in cash.  Our Client was also seen on video purchasing condoms from a nearby convenience store and the receipt for the condoms was recovered.  The prostitute insinuated that she was forced into the situation by our Client.  Despite all the evidence against our Client, and all of the prison time he was facing we were able to negotiate a favorable deal.  Our Client will serve 2 years in prison at 50%.  He'll soon be back with his family.

People v. SA

Client was charged with Delivery of a Controlled Substance.  Surveillance Officers claim to have witnessed our Client exit her vehicle and approach another parked vehicle.  After a brief conversation, our Client gave the driver of the other vehicle some money and received several objects in return.  Then our Client drove away.  Believing a narcotics transaction had occurred, the Surveillance Officers radioed the Enforcement Officers who then pulled our Client's vehicle over.  The Enforcement Officers claim that as they approached, our Client passed some paper object to the passenger in the car who then placed the object in her bra...all right in front of the Officer.  When the Officer asked what was in her bra, the passenger said "it's just some blows," and then gave the Officers 12 tinfoil packets of heroin.  The charges were dismissed at the Preliminary Hearing.

People v. SM

Client was charged with Felony Possession of a Controlled Substance.  The case was dismissed at the Preliminary Hearing Stages.

People v. MW

Our Client was charged with Felony DUI and Felony Driving on a Revoked or a Suspended License.  Because of our Client's background as a 6 time convicted felon and prior DUIs, he was facing a mandatory prison sentence of between 6 and 30 years if he was convicted.  The Prosecution offered our Client a deal of 6 years (the minimum).  Our Client rejected this offer, and we took his case to trial.  The Officer testified that his attention was drawn to our client because he allegedly was sitting in the driver's side of a parked vehicle that was parked more than 12 inches from the curb.  Furthermore, the Officer noticed that the vehicle's registration was expired.  Upon questioning our Client, the Officer claimed that he noticed a strong odor of alcohol and cannabis coming from out Client.  The Officer claimed that our Client's eyes were bloodshot, watery and glassy, and that our Client spoke with mumbled speech.  The officer also claimed that there was a cup filled with an alcoholic beverage inside the car.  Based on these observations, the officer administered Standardized Field Sobriety Tests.  Our Client allegedly failed each test, and was arrested.  Our Client allegedly refused a breathalyzer test.  The prosecution played a video of the tests during the trial.  When asked about the alcoholic beverage that was supposedly found inside the vehicle, the Officer admitted that he could not confirm that the liquid inside was actually alcohol.  He believed the liquid to be tequila based on smell, but then claimed that he didn't drink tequila.  The Officer testified that the video started when the emergency lights of the police car were activated, and that he activated the emergency lights before even asking our Client out of the vehicle.  However, the video played in court started well after our Client was out of the vehicle.  The Officer admitted to interrupting our Client while administering the first test causing what appeared to be a failure.  The Officer also appeared to interrupt the 2nd test on the video.  Finally, the officer failed to accurately record the 3rd test.  There was also no audio on the video that was played despite there being microphones for recording audio.  Our Client was found NOT GUILTY!!!

People v. AJ

Our Client was charged with a Retail Theft from CVS.  Because of our Client's background of 7 prior felony convictions, our Client was facing up to 6 years in prison.  We had our Client evaluated for a special kind of probation which includes drug treatment called TASC probation.  We conferenced the case with the judge and although the prosecutors wanted a substantial amount of prison time, we convinced the judge to give our Client probation with TASC drug treatment.  Our Client couldn't keep the tears back.

People v. JJ

Our Client was charged with Possession of a Controlled Substance.  Surveillance Officers claim to have witnessed our Client engage in a hand to hand transaction with another individual where our Client allegedly exchanged and unknown amount of money in exchange for unknown items.  The Surveillance Officers informed Enforcement Officers via radio of their alleged observations.  The Enforcement Officers pulled our Client's vehicle over and detained our Client.  It was at this time that our Client allegedly admitted that he "just bought some blows."  The Police then searched our Client and his vehicle and recovered a pill bottle which contained tinfoil packets of a white powder substance (suspect heroin).  The Crime lab's testing mysteriously showed a positive amount of almost double the initial estimated weight.  The case was DISMISSED at the Preliminary Hearing.
