Our Client was charged with DUI. Police responded to calls of a man sleeping behind the wheel of a stopped vehicle that was stopped and facing the wrong way (against the flow of traffic). Our Client was allegedly found in the driver's seat, not wearing his seat belt with open alcohol in the center console. Police observed that our Client had bloodshot, watery and glassy eyes and that our Client was very sleepy. Our Client was allegedly confused, mumbling his words and smelled strongly of alcohol. Our Client refused a breath test and was allegedly too sleepy to perform field sobriety tests. We were able to negotiate a plea for supervision and successfully avoid a conviction for our Client.
People v. LH
Our Client was charged with Felony Possession of a Controlled Substance. While fighting the case, the police served a search warrant at our Client's Residence and recovered additional narcotics. Our Client was charged with an additional Felony case of Possession of a Controlled Substance with Intent to Delivery. Because of the amount of narcotics on the 2nd case, our Client was facing a mandatory prison sentence of 3-7 years. Because our Client picked up the 2nd case while on Bond for the 1st case, he would be required to serve mandatory CONSECUTIVE prison sentences for the 2 cases. Because of our Client's felony history, he was facing an extended term sentence of 1-6 years on the first case. In total our Client was facing 4-13 years in prison for the 2 cases. We were able to successfully negotiate a deal for our Client for a reduced charge on the Possession with Intent case. The prosecution agreed to a sentence recommendation of 1+1 for a total of 2 years in prison instead of 4-13 years in prison. Our Client couldn't refuse such a great deal. He will be out in just a few short months!
People v. MB
Our Client was charged with Felony Unlawful Use of a Weapon by a Convicted Felon. He had 5 prior Felony Convictions. The Police served a search warrant on our Client's house. Our Client was the target of the Search Warrant. When the Police searched the house, they recovered a firearm under a bed. The police claimed that they knew the bedroom where the gun was recovered from belonged to our Client because they found some mail bearing our Client's name and a Social Security Card belonging to our Client in the same bedroom. Therefore, according to the Police, the gun must've belonged to our Client. Although, there were multiple other individuals present, our Client was not present at the time the Police were searching the house and was only arrested weeks later. The Prosecutors offered the maximum sentence of 7 years in prison to settle the case. Naturally, we rejected that offer and took our Client's case to trial. The verdict was Not Guilty.
