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!
