People v. DW

Our Client was Charged with Felony Delivery of a Controlled Substance. He was facing up to 15 years in prison. Police were on surveillance and claim to observe our client yelling "Blows, Blows!" to cars passing by and people on the street. He was approached at one point by another individual who said "let me get 2 blows." That person then allegedly gave our Client an unknown amount of money in exchange for several unknown items. The Police stopped the alleged buyer and recovered 2 mini ziplock baggies containing a substance believed to be heroin. The Police also stopped our Client and placed him into custody for soliciting unlawful business. Upon searching him, they discovered several mini ziplock baggies that matched the baggies recovered from the buyer. Despite all this alleged evidence, the Officer crumbled under cross-examination. All charges were dismissed at the Preliminary Hearing.

People v. MG

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. QB

Our Client was charged with Felony Driving on a Revoked or a Suspended License. Officers claim to have witnessed our Client fail to use a turning signal when pulling over to park the car. When they ran our Client's name, they learned that her license was invalid, and that she was required to have a breath interlock device installed on her vehicle in order to be allowed to drive. The vehicle was not equipped with such a device, and our Client was arrested and charged with a felony. All felony charges were dismissed at the Preliminary Hearing.

People v. DG

Our Client was charged with DUI. Police claim that they responded to a call of a person asleep at the wheel, facing the wrong way, in oncoming traffic. When they arrived at the scene, Officers claim that our Client was unable to say away, smelled strongly of alcohol and had open alcohol inside his vehicle. At the police station our Client allegedly failed the standardized field sobriety tests which were administered, and he refused to submit to a breathalyzer test. By refusing to submit to the breathalyzer test, our Client's license was automatically, summarily suspended by the Secretary of State. We filed a Petition to Rescind the Statutory Summary Suspension. On the hearing date, the prosecution agreed to rescind the suspension and offer our Client supervision. Not only was our Client able to avoid a conviction on his record, he was able to begin driving immediately after court!

People v. AG

TheClient was charged with Felony Manufacturing and Delivery of a Controlled Substance. The Police alleged that they saw our Client talking to someone in a double parked car. According to the police, this meant she was engaged in a drug transaction. They claim they saw her adjusting the waistband of her pants. They felt they had enough to stop and search her. They allegedly recovered narcotics from her waistband. What they forgot to mention in any of the reports is that our Client was VERY pregnant at the time. (which explains why she would be adjusting the waistband of her pants). We filed a Motion to Quash Arrest and Suppress Evidence claiming that the Police violated our Client's rights when they searched her simply for talking to someone in a vehicle and adjusting her pants. The Judge agreed, and the case was dismissed.

People v. KW

Our Client was charged with Felony Possession of a Controlled Substance. The Police pulled our Client over for a minor traffic violation. A subsequent search of the car revealed narcotics. All charges were dismissed at the Preliminary Hearing.

People v. EM

Our Client was charged with Felony Possession of a Controlled Substance. Officers alleged that they stopped our Client for driving the wrong way down a one-way street. The testifying officer claimed to have seen our Client reach into his pocket and stuff a golf ball size bag of narcotics into his mouth and begin to chew and swallow it. The testifying officer stated that he grabbed our Client at which point the bag exploded and several small bags flew out of our Client's mouth into the passenger compartment of the car. The problem with the officer's testimony was that he said he saw our Client pull this golf ball sized item out of his pocket while our Client was seated in the driver's seat of a Hummer and the Officer, who admitted to being only 5'3" stood outside. At 5'3", there is no way for the officer to make the observation he claimed to have made because of the size of the vehicle. All charged were dismissed at the Preliminary Hearing.
