People v. MM
Our Client was charged with a DUI. Because he refused to take a breath test, his license was summarily suspended by statute and he was not permitted to drive. We demanded a hearing to rescind that Statutory Summary Suspension. At the hearing, the prosecution failed to meet their burden of proof and our request to have our Client's driving privileges reinstated was granted. The Statutory Summary Suspension was granted!
People v. EH

During the search, the Police discovered multiple bags of cannabis. Our Client was facing 2 - 5 years in prison. We successfully negotiated 18 months of probation for our Client.

Our Client was charged with Felony Possession of Cannabis. Our Client was facing up to 3 years in prison if convicted. It was alleged that our Client was pulled over by State Troopers for speeding. When the Trooper approached, he allegedly smelled a strong odor of burnt cannabis coming from the vehicle. Our Client was the driver of the vehicle, and his wife and infant child were passengers. Our Client allegedly admitted to driving on a suspended license. A search of the vehicle revealed cannabis in the trunk. Our Client then attempted to flee on foot and was eventually detained and subdued after the trooper had threatened to fire his taser. Although the case went beyond the Preliminary Hearing Stages, we were able to successfully avoid prison for our Client. We were able to convince the prosecution to offer our Client probation.

Client was charged with DUI. After crashing his vehicle into a bridge, the police arrived. Our Client agreed to take a breathalyzer test and blew over the limit. He was arrested on the spot.

Client was charged with a Class 1 - Felony Possession of a Controlled Substance. He was looking at up to 15 years in prison. The case was dismissed at the Preliminary Hearing Stages.
People v. CJ
Our Client was charged with multiple felonies: Possession with intent to deliver over 15 grams of a controlled substance; unlawful use of a weapon by a convicted felon, possession with intent to deliver over 500 grams of cannabis and possession of a controlled substance and a violation of probation for a prior gun case. Our Client was facing a mandatory prison sentence of 6 - 30 years for the narcotics and 3-10 years in prison for the guns. The police chased our Client into his house, searched the house and discovered guns, narcotics, and narcotics packaging. Then officers got a search warrant. Because of the improper procedure in getting the search warrant, we were able to convince the prosecution to drop the most serious charges. Our Client asked us to get him the minimum on the gun case which we did. We were able to resolve both the Violation of Probation for the prior case and the new case for 3 years at 50%.
People v. RL & SG
Our Clients were charged with Felony Promoting Prostitution. They allegedly rented a hotel room downtown and posted an ad on the internet for sex with a woman they were with. An undercover officer responded to the ad (which was for sensual massage only). When the officer arrived, our Clients were not even there. The Officer allegedly negotiated a deal for sex with the girl, not our Clients. After admitting he was a police officer to the girl, she then stated that she had been forced into prostitution by our Clients who still were not there. The girl then called our Clients and asked them to return to the hotel room and they were arrested when they got back. Later she changed her story and admitted to lying to the Police. We set the case for trial and the Judge found our Clients Not Guilty
