People v. OR

Our Client was charged with Felony Possession of a Controlled Substance. The Police claimed that they pulled our Client's vehicle over because he supposedly wasn't wearing a seat belt. As the approached, the Police claim that a passenger in our Client's car was trying to hid a plastic bag which contained several smaller plastic bags inside his pockets. Naturally, our Client allegedly voluntarily told the police that he was in possession of methadone without a prescription. Officers then claim to have recovered a plastic bag from out Client containing a powder substance they believed to be heroin. All charges were dismissed at the Preliminary Hearing.

People v. WH

Our Client was charged with Felony Manufacturing and Delivery of a Controlled Substance within 1000 feet of a school. He was facing up to 30 years in prison. Probation was not a possibility. The Police had a search warrant for our Client's house. While executing the search warrant, there were several other adults present in the house in addition to our Client. The Officers recovered several bags of cannabis in addition to Oxycodone pills, zip lock baggies and a digital scale. All charges were dismissed at the Preliminary Hearing.

People v. MH

Client was charged with Felony Possession of a Controlled Substance. The Police claim to have seen our Client engage in a hand to hand transaction. They allegedly recovered narcotics and arrested our Client. The charges were dismissed at the Preliminary Hearing.

People v. GA

Our Client was charged with Felony Possession of a Controlled Substance. The Police observed our Client standing near a dumpster in the alley. Of course he couldn't have been throwing out the garbage so they had to investigate. Our Client allegedly tossed an object to the ground as the Police approached. That object was allegedly recovered and allegedly tested positive for cocaine. All charges were dismissed at the Preliminary Hearing.

People v. JA

Our Client was charged with Felony Disorderly Conduct for submitting a false police report. He was facing up to 3 years in prison. The Police claimed that after being involved in a minor traffic accident, our Client fled the scene and contacted Officers claiming that he had been carjacked at gunpoint in an effort to cover up his involvement in the accident. Our Client allegedly admitted everything. We were able to negotiate a deal for a reduced charge of misdemeanor Disorderly Conduct, and our Client was able to avoid a felony conviction!

People v. BR

Our Client was charged with a Felony Driving on a Revoked or a Suspended License. He was facing 2 - 5 years in prison because he had previously been convicted of Driving on a Revoked or a Suspended License on 9 prior occasions. The Police claim that they witnessed our Client driving a vehicle and fail to properly use his turning signal. After pulling him over, the police learned that Our Client's license was suspended for a prior DUI and that he had 9 previous convictions for driving on a suspended license. We were able to negotiate the minimum time of 2 years for our Client. Although this outcome may not seem like a success, it demonstrates that a person's background can have a strong negative effect on the outcome of the case. We really had no grounds to argue for probation for our Client when he had 9 prior convictions for the same thing, plus Felony Burglary and Felony Theft convictions. The minimum prison time really was the best deal our Client could get. The good news is that we successfully argued to have more than half of the time credited because of time our Client spent on Electronic Monitoring. Our Client will get out before the end of the year!

People v. MS

A name check showed that our Client's driving privileges were revoked for a prior DUI. Troopers claimed that our Client failed Field Sobriety Tests. A subsequent breath test came back showing a BAC of .221 (almost triple the limit). All charges were dismissed at the Preliminary Hearing.
