Our Client was charged with Felony Possession of Cannabis. A State Trooper pulled a car over for an obstructed license plate and crack in the windshield. Our Client was a passenger in that car. The Trooper claims to have immediately smelled cannabis coming from the vehicle when he approached for a field interview. Our Client allegedly admitted to having almost $1,000 of weed in the car. Although the case went beyond the Preliminary Hearing, we were able to negotiate a deal with the prosecution for special expungeable probation. If our Client successfully completes the probation, he will be able to get this arrest and avoid a felony conviction.

They claim that our Client matched the description of the man and they tried to speak with him.

All charges were dismissed at the Preliminary Hearing.

People v. AL
Our Client was charged with 3 separate cases: A Felony Residential Burglary, An Attempt Felony Residential Burglary and a Felony Possession of a Controlled Substance. He was facing up to 15 years in prison if he was convicted. It was alleged that our Client broke into someone's house and stole a digital camera, laptop, iphone, wallet, credit cards and a bookbag. While inside the house, he was confronted by the owner and chased away. Our Client was also caught on camera in another instance attempting to break into another person's house. After unsuccessfully trying to break into the house, he committed multiple acts of vandalism and destruction of the Victim's property. He was picked out in a line-up for that incident. Finally, our Client was also stopped police after they were alerted that he was trying to pick-pocket some people. When they searched him, they found 22 bags of narcotics. Although the case went beyond the Preliminary Hearing Stages we were able to convince the Judge to go along with TASC probation for our Client over the Prosecution's strenuous objection. TASC probation is a special kind of probation that includes drug treatment. If our Client successfully completes the probation, he is eligible to have his convictions vacated and avoid having these felonies remain on his permanent record.
People v. DU
Client was charge with multiple counts of First Degree Murder and Attempted Murder. It was alleged that our Client and at least one other individual were seen by police shooting into a party. One of the party goers was killed and another was shot in the foot. Our Client allegedly fled and discarded a gun while fleeing. We were able to prove that the bullets that hit the party goers causing injury and death were not fired from the weapon the Police claimed our Client left at the scene. We were also able to poke holes in the prosecution's case, and the Judge was not convinced that our Client was working with the other individuals who were shooting. As a result, our Client was not held accountable for the other shooter's actions and the verdict was Not Guilty.

Our Client's neighbor immediately called the Police and identified our Client as the person who burglarized his house. Although the charged offense is usually non-probationable, we successfully convinced the Judge to offer our Client a special type of probation that includes drug treatment. If our Client successfully completes every aspect of the probation, there will be no conviction on his record.
