People v. MG
Our Client was charged with Felony Aggravated Criminal Sexual Assault. If convicted, our Client was facing up to 40 years in prison. The Victim alleged that the perpetrator approached from behind while she was entering her building on her way home from work. The assailant allegedly robbed the Victim at gunpoint taking her purse. After taking her purse, the Victim alleged that perpetrator unzipped his pants and forced his penis into her mouth. After forcing the Victim to perform oral sex, it was alleged that the offender demanded that the Victim remove her panties. While distracting the perpetrator, the Victim screamed for help from her neighbors, and the perpetrator fled the scene. Although the Victim identified our Client as the offender in this case, her story fell apart under cross examination and close scrutiny. The Victim never told the initial responding police officers about the alleged sexual assault. When pressed on this issue, the Victim claimed that she did tell the officers about the sexual assault, but they ignored her and refused to document it. The Victim never sought medical attention for the alleged sexual assault. The Victim's story was contradicted at critical points by her neighbor. After a vigorous trial, there could only be one verdict: NOT GUILTY!

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. JR
Our Client was charged with Felony Possession of a Controlled Substance. While fighting that case, she failed to come to court for a scheduled court appearance. The Judge issued a NO BAIL warrant for her arrest. Later, the Police arrested her for another Felony Possession of a Controlled Substance case. Because our Client picked up the 2nd case while on bond for the 1st case she was facing consecutive prison sentences of 2-6 years in prison. Needless to say, the Judge was not happy with her for not coming to court, picking up a warrant, and picking up a new case. However, were were able to successfully negotiate a deal with the prosecution to resolve both cases with probation. Our Client was able to avoid prison, and if she successfully completes the probation, she can ask the Court to remove the convictions from her record like they never happened!
