All charges were dismissed at the Preliminary Hearing!
People v. AS
Our Client was on probation for a drug case when he picked up a Felony Delivery of a Controlled Substance - 1000 Feet of a School case. So our Client was facing a Violation of Probation and 4 - 15 years in prison if convicted on the new case. The Police alleged that our Client sold heroin to an undercover Police Officer during a controlled buy sting. The whole situation was under surveillance. Both the undercover buy officer and the surveillance officers claimed our Client sold drugs to the buy officer for $20 in marked police money. We were able to negotiate a deal with the prosecutors to reduce the charges and drop the 1000 Feet of a School element. This made the new case a Class 2 Felony which is punishable from 3 - 7 years in prison. However, this deal also made our Client eligible for Boot Camp. Our Client accepted this deal. The violation case was dropped and he will be out as soon as he completes the Boot Camp program!

If our Client completes the program successfully, all felony charged will be dismissed.

Client was charged with Felony Possession of a Controlled Substance, Felony Driving on a Revoked or a Suspended License, Possession of Cannabis, Failure to Stop at a Stop Sign, Failure to Stop at a Red Light, and No Insurance. Police Officers claim that our Client was driving and ran a stop sign. Then our Client allegedly ran a red light. Our Client then supposedly began to toss clear bags containing suspect narcotics out the window of his vehicle for no reason. It was at this point that the police stopped him. Then, our Client allegedly dropped two additional bags of suspect narcotics to the ground right in front of the police officers. Then the Police searched our Client and claimed to find even more drugs in his person. After checking our Client's background the Police discovered that his license had been revoked. We were able to have all the charges dismissed at the Preliminary Hearing.

The officer, stopped to recover the gun and then continued to chase our Client - eventually finding him hiding under a porch. Our Client also allegedly confessed to owning the gun and buying it from a hype on the street. The prosecution was offering time considered served, but we took our Client's case to trial and won. Our Client was found NOT GUILTY on all counts.
People v. JB
Our Client was charged with Possession of Cannabis. We set our Client's case for trial. The state was not able to produce a witness from the crime lab to testify regarding the alleged cannabis. A necessary Police Officer also failed to appear for the trial. As a result, they were forced to dismiss all charges.
People v. JE
Our Client was charged with Felony Possession of a Fictitious ID Card. He was facing up to 3 years of incarceration. The Police alleged that our Client was seen relieving himself on the public way. They placed him into custody. Upon examining his Social Security Card and ID card, the officer believed the card to be fake. Upon cross examination at the Preliminary Hearing, the officer admitted that he did not perform any tests on the cards to determine their authenticity; he did not call the Social Security Administration to determine whether or not the card was valid. All charges were dismissed at the Preliminary Hearing.
People v. MK
Client was charged with Felony Possession of a Controlled Substance. The case was dismissed at the Preliminary Hearing Stages.
People v. DH
Client was charged with Felony Armed Habitual Criminal and Unlawful Use of a Weapon - Convicted Felon. The Police got a search warrant for our Client's residence. However, the search warrant said our Client lived in a single family home, and this wasn't true. The home was broken up into separate apartments with separate doorways, separate utilities and even separate gates locking the entry ways. The police did not find any guns or ammo in our Client's apartment. However, they did find what they claimed to be a gun in the attic of the building. The Police also claimed to have found a set of pistol grips that matched the gun from the attic on our Client's bed. As unbelievable as all that sounds, the prosecution insisted on prosecuting the case all the way. We set the case for trial and produced a firearms test for the prosecution which showed that the gun the police allegedly found wasn't a gun at all but a TOY. They had no choice but to dismiss all the charges.
