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!

People v. GW

Client was charged with Felony Aggravated Unlawful Use of a Weapon - 1000 Feet of a School.  The Police alleged that they saw our Client loitering on school grounds and drinking from a plastic cup which they believed to contain alcohol.  When they approached, our Client allegedly fled holding his waistband.  After a brief chase, our Client was caught by the police and searched.  They allegedly recovered a loaded handgun.  Even though our Client was facing 2-5 years in prison, we conferenced the case with the judge.  After intense negotiations with the Judge and the Prosecution, our client was offered 1 year on a reduced charge.  We got our Client credit for all the time he had served and our Client was home 2 days after accepting the deal!

People v. FG

Client was sitting in his vehicle. The police claimed the Client threw a bag of drugs on the floor of the Client's car right in front of the police officer. The police arrested our client for Felony Possession of a Controlled Substance and wrote a parking ticket and confiscated our Client's license. All the charges were dismissed at the Preliminary Hearing, including the traffic charges. Our client was released and his license was returned without so much as a fine.

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!

People v. AG

Our Client was charged with Felony Possession of a Controlled Substance.  Our Client was sitting in a car with friends when the Police approached.  The Police claimed that they surprised our Client.  In his surprise, he allegedly placed a bag of narcotics on the gear shift right in front of the Officers.  They allegedly recovered the narcotics, and arrested our Client.  All charges were dismissed at the Preliminary Hearing!

People v. SF

Our Client was charged with Felony Aggravated Battery of a Police Officer and DUI.  Our Client was facing up to 7 years in prison.  It was alleged that our Client was involved in a traffic accident.  When Officers arrived on the scene they claim our Client had red, bloodshot glassy eyes, slurred speech and smelled of alcohol.  Our Client allegedly failed the Field Sobriety Tests on scene and was arrested for DUI.  While being transported to the station, our Client escaped from the handcuffs.  When Officers attempted to re-cuff our Client, they claim she turned on her side and kicked and officer in the chest and jaw multiple times.  At the station, our Client participated in a breath test showing a BAC of .199 (more than double the limit).  We were able to convince the prosecution to offer our Client supervision on the DUI, avoiding a conviction.  We also convinced the prosecution to reduce the Felony Aggravated Battery to a misdemeanor and offer probation on that charge as well.  Another Felony Conviction avoided!!!

People v. MM

Client was charged with Felony Possession of a Controlled Substance.  The case was dismissed at the Preliminary Hearing Stages.

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.
