Client was charged with Possession of a Controlled Substance. Surveillance Officers claim to have witnessed the driver of a vehicle that our Client was a passenger of exit the vehicle and approach another parked vehicle. After a brief conversation, the driver of our Client's vehicle gave the driver of the other vehicle some money and received several objects in return. Then the driver returned to the vehicle where our Client was still waiting and drove away. Believing a narcotics transaction had occurred, the Surveillance Officers radioed the Enforcement Officers who then pulled our Client's vehicle over. The Enforcement Officers claim that as they approached, the driver passed some paper object to our Client in the passenger seat in the car who then placed the object in her bra. All right in front of the Officer. When the Officer asked what was in her bra, our Client said "it's just some blows," and then gave the Officers 12 tinfoil packets of heroin.

People v. JL
Our Client was charged with Felony Failure to Register as a Convicted Sex Offender. Despite having a duty to register, state records showed that our Client had failed to do so for several years. Because of our Client's extensive background, including a prior failure to register, he was facing a mandatory 6-30 years in prison as a mandatory Class X Offender. Although the prosecution would not offer anything better than prison time, we requested a conference with the judge. After advocating vigorously for our Client, we were able to convince the Judge to give our Client one more chance. He was released on probation.

The Police then claimed that while they were searching a bedroom which they say belonged to our client, they supposedly found a pill bittle which contained an additional 4 bags of suspected crack cocaine. All charges were dismissed at the Preliminary Hearing.
People v. JP
Client was charged with multiple counts of Attempt Armed Robbery with a Firearm and Aggravated Unlawful Restraint. The alleged Victims claimed that our Client, along with 2 other Offenders, approached, displayed a handgun and announced "This is a robbery!" The Victims allegedly fled the scene while the Offenders discharged the firearm and chased after them. One of the Victims allegedly was caught, and beaten on the ground. The other Victim flagged down police officers. The Police toured the area and discovered our Client, and arrested him. We took our Client's case to trial. There was no identification of our Client. The Prosecution could not prove our Client was one of the Perpetrators of the crime because the alleged Assailants were wearing face masks and hoodies so no positive identification could be made. No gun was recovered. In fact, a GSR (gun shot residue) test was performed, and the results were negative for discharge of a firearm which is in direct contradiction to what the Victims claimed. Our Client did not have any proceeds from the alleged Robbery. There was no physical evidence connecting our Client to the crime and the verdict was NOT GUILTY!
