People v. IL
Our Client was charged with Felony Aggravated Battery of a Police Officer. He was facing up to 7 years in prison. The Police claim they attempted to pull our Client over. Instead of pulling over, our Client allegedly led the Police on a brief chase. When our Client pulled over, the Officer attempted to place our Client under arrest. As the Officer attempted to put handcuffs on our Client, he allegedly pushed the Officer away and escaped thru the passenger side of his vehicle. The entire incident was caught on video. We were able to negotiate a deal for probation and a plea to a lesser charge of Resisting Arrest.
People v. JA - Felony Possession of a Controlled Substance
Our Client was charged with Felony Possession of a Controlled Substance. The Police pulled over a vehicle that our Client was driving. Our Client's driver's license was expired and he was arrested for that. A search of our Client pursuant to his arrest revealed a hand-rolled tinfoil paper package of heroin. All charges were dismissed at the Preliminary Hearing.
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.

All charges were dismissed at the Preliminary Hearing.
People v. DH
Client was charged with Felony Armed Habitual Criminal and Unlawful Use of a Weapon - Convicted Felon. The Police got a search warrant for our Client's residence. However, the search warrant said our Client lived in a single family home, and this wasn't true. The home was broken up into separate apartments with separate doorways, separate utilities and even separate gates locking the entry ways. The police did not find any guns or ammo in our Client's apartment. However, they did find what they claimed to be a gun in the attic of the building. The Police also claimed to have found a set of pistol grips that matched the gun from the attic on our Client's bed. As unbelievable as all that sounds, the prosecution insisted on prosecuting the case all the way. We set the case for trial and produced a firearms test for the prosecution which showed that the gun the police allegedly found wasn't a gun at all but a TOY. They had no choice but to dismiss all the charges.
People v. JW
Client was charged with Felony Possession of a Controlled Substance and various traffic citations. The Police claimed that they saw our Client approach an unknown individual. After engaging that individual in a brief conversation, the Police say our Client gave that person an unknown amount of money in exchange for an unknown item. Our Client then drove away. This appeared to be a hand to hand narcotics transaction to the Police so they stopped our Client. After stopping his car, the Police claimed that our client voluntarily opened his door to reveal a bag of narcotics in plain view to the Officers. All charges were dismissed at the Preliminary Hearing.
People v. AE
Client was charged with Felony Possession of a Stolen Motor Vehicle. We were able to avoid a felony conviction for our client and negotiate a special program called Deferred Prosecution. If our Client completes the program successfully, the case will be dismissed.
People v. CM
Our Client was charged with DUI. He allegedly almost hit a member of the Cicero Police Department. When he was pulled over, he refused all chemical testing. He also refused to participate in any standardized field sobriety tests. As a result, his license was automatically suspended. However, due to his refusal to take a breathalyzer and refusal to participate in the field tests, the prosecution was left with little physical evidence to prove his guilt. We took our Client's case to trial. The verdict was NOT GUILTY!
People v. SM
