People v. RM
Our Client was charged with Felony Retail Theft and was facing 1 - 3 years in prison. Because our Client's family contacted us immediately after his arrest, we were able to appear in bond court and obtain house arrest for him instead of him sitting in the County. At the Preliminary Hearing we were able to convince the prosecution to reduce the charges to a misdemeanor and give our Client Time Considered Served for the 7 days he spend on house arrest. He couldn't believe it!
People v. JE
Our Client was charged with Felony Retail Theft. It was alleged that he was seen by the Loss Prevention agents of the store cutting off the security tags on multiple items of merchandise, and then placing those same items into a bag he brought with him. Our Client then allegedly passed the last point of sale, exiting the store, where he was stopped and the merchandise was recovered. We successfully convinced the prosecution to reduce the charges to a misdemeanor offense and our Client was sentenced to supervision. Our Client avoided a Felony Conviction!
People v. OO
Client was charged with a Class 3 Possession of Cannabis with Intent to Deliver and a Violation of Probation that was received for a Class 1 Residential Burglary. Client was facing being re-sentenced to up to 15 years in prison for the Violation of Probation alone. Additionally, the Client was facing up to 10 years on an extended term for the Possession of Cannabis with Intent to Deliver case. We successfully conferenced the cases and convinced the Judge and Prosecution to completely dismiss the Possession of Cannabis with Intent to Deliver Case. We also successfully argued for the minimum time. Finally, we obtained credit for all the time in custody that our Client had plus an additional half a day credit for each day the Client was in special IBM (Inmate Behavioral Modification) programs for a total credit of 271 days. Our Client is going to be home very soon!
People v JG
Client was charged with Felony Possession of Cannabis. The case was dismissed at the Preliminary Hearing Stages.
CW v. AW
Our Client was facing a Civil Order of Protection. It was alleged that our Client inappropriately touched the penis of his minor step-child. The mother filed for an Order of Protection against our Client. Our Client always maintained his innocence of the accusation so we objected to the Judge granting the Petitioner's request for an Order of Protection. We set the case for hearing, and we were successful. The Order of Protection was dismissed!
People v. CJ
Our Client was charged with Criminal Damage to Property, Failure to Register as a Gun Offender, Possession of Cannabis, and Criminal Trespass. The Police were investigating a call of a suspicious person. They tried to stop our Client who allegedly fled. After chasing our Client down, the Police claim that he damaged the property of one of his neighbors and was in possession of marijuana. After a couple of court dates, we forced the Prosecution to dismiss each and every charge.
People v. KC
Client was charged with Attempted Murder and multiple counts of Armed Robbery and Robbery. Client was facing a life sentence. We took our Client's case to trial and prevailed. The State argued that our client was working with another individual in a drug deal gone wrong when instead of paying for the drugs, the other individual shot and stole the drugs from the seller. The Judge found that the evidenced showed that our client wasn't involved in the drug deal, robbery or shooting and that he was merely present.
People v. DW
Our Client was charged with Felony Possession of a Controlled Substance. Our Client was sitting in a vehicle that was parked in the alley when the Police approached for a field interview. During the interview, the Police claimed to have observed narcotics in plain view inside the vehicle. They ordered all the occupants out of the vehicle and recovered additional narcotics from the floor and from the seat where our Client was sitting. The Police also recovered a straw with narcotics residue on it from our Client's bag. All charges were dismissed at the Preliminary Hearing.
People v. DJ
Our Client was charged with a Felony Aggravated Unlawful Use of a Weapon. He was pulled over for a minor traffic violation. The Police claim he was making suspicious movements and removed his jacket when they approached the vehicle. They further claimed that our Client was also unable to produce a driver's license. As a result they arrested him. A search incident to arrest revealed a loaded handgun. The prosecution was offering prison time only because that's their policy. On the day of trial, we were able to convince the Judge to give our Client probation.
