Our Client was charged with Felony Possession of a Controlled Substance. The Police claimed that they saw our Client walking down the street. Someone else was yelling "lights, lights" which is code to let everyone on the block know that the police were around. According to Police, our Client then dropped some items to the ground. Our Client was detained, and the items were recovered. The items contained a powder that the Police believed to be heroin. Chemical testing came back positive for heroin. All charges were dismissed at the Preliminary Hearing!
People v. WM
Client was charged with a Class 1 - Manufacturing and Delivery of a Controlled Substance. He was looking at up to 15 years in prison if convicted. We filed a Motion to Quash Arrest and Suppress Evidence and beat his case. The Judge ruled that when the police used their vehicle to block in our Client's vehicle at the gas station, our Client was not free to go. Because they did this without witnessing any illegal activity, any search of our Client and his vehicle were in violation of his Constitutional rights, and the large amount of drugs that were found must be suppressed.
People v. SB

The driver of one of the vehicles was standing at the window of the second. Our Client was a passenger in the second vehicle. Allegedly, the Police saw a transaction between the drivers of the 2 vehicles. The Police pulled our Client's vehicle over. As they approached, they claimed that they saw the driver of our Client's vehicle pass our Client and our Client allegedly made movements toward the waist. Upon inquiry, our Client supposedly made a confession to possessing narcotics and was arrested. All charges were dismissed at the preliminary hearing.

Our Client was facing 21-45 years in prison for the Attempted Murder charge + 21-45 years for the Aggravated Kidnapping + 6-30 years for the Aggravated Battery + 21-45 years for the Armed Robbery for a total of 69-165 years in prison under mandatory consecutive sentencing in Illinois. It was alleged that our Client along with another individual were going to make a drug deal with the Victim. In exchange for a large amount of money, our Client was going to provide the Victim with a large amount of narcotics. Instead of making good on the deal, the Victim claimed that our Client pistol whipped him unconscious. Then our Client and another individual dragged, robbed and kidnapped the Victim in a van, and drove the Victim to a remote location on the West Side of Chicago. Once there, our Client helped drag the Victim out of the van, and the other individual shot the Victim in the head at point blank range. The Victim lived, and identified both our Client and the other individual to police as the perpetrators of this crime. The Prosecution had offered our Client a deal of 31 years in prison in exchange for a plea of guilty. We rejected that offer and took our Client's case to trial. THE VERDICT WAS NOT GUILTY ON ALL CHARGES!
