People v. JS
Our Client was leaving the parking lot of a bank. The snow drifts were so high on the sidewalk that she wasn't able to see the cross traffic. Our Client's vehicle was t-boned and totaled and she was injured. However, the Police issued our Client a ticket for the accident, not the person who ran into her. We set her case for trial and all the charges were dismissed.
People v. DG
Our Client was charged with DUI. Police claim that they responded to a call of a person asleep at the wheel, facing the wrong way, in oncoming traffic. When they arrived at the scene, Officers claim that our Client was unable to say away, smelled strongly of alcohol and had open alcohol inside his vehicle. At the police station our Client allegedly failed the standardized field sobriety tests which were administered, and he refused to submit to a breathalyzer test. By refusing to submit to the breathalyzer test, our Client's license was automatically, summarily suspended by the Secretary of State. We filed a Petition to Rescind the Statutory Summary Suspension. On the hearing date, the prosecution agreed to rescind the suspension and offer our Client supervision. Not only was our Client able to avoid a conviction on his record, he was able to begin driving immediately after court!
People v. MG
Client was charged with Felony Possession of a Controlled Substance. Client also had missed a court date and had an active warrant for his arrest. We were able to get the warrant quashed and recalled, and the case was dismissed at the Preliminary Hearing.
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. QB
Our Client was charged with Felony Driving on a Revoked or a Suspended License. Officers claim to have witnessed our Client fail to use a turning signal when pulling over to park the car. When they ran our Client's name, they learned that her license was invalid, and that she was required to have a breath interlock device installed on her vehicle in order to be allowed to drive. The vehicle was not equipped with such a device, and our Client was arrested and charged with a felony. All felony charges were dismissed at the Preliminary Hearing.
People v. BM
Our Client was charged with Felony Possession of a Controlled Substance. Our Client was seen leaving a "Known Narcotic Area." Our Client placed an unknown object into his back pocket. As our Client attempted to leave the area, he was detained by the Police. Of course, the Police claim he admitted the item in his pocket was some "blow." The Police searched his pockets and recovered the item. All charges were dismissed at the Preliminary Hearing.
People v. LS
Our Client was charged with Felony Residential Burglary (a non-probationable offense). Our Client was allegedly caught red handed burglarizing his neighbor's house when his neighbor came home. Our Client's neighbor immediately called the Police and identified our Client as the person who burglarized his house. Although the charged offense is usually non-probationable, we successfully convinced the Judge to offer our Client a special type of probation that includes drug treatment. If our Client successfully completes every aspect of the probation, there will be no conviction on his record.
People v. RB
Our Client was charged with a Violation of Conditional Discharge. It was alleged that our Client didn't complete any of the conditions of his release. The prosecutors were offering over 100 days in the County Jail as punishment. We held a conference with the judge, and successfully negotiated 90 days on House Arrest instead of our Client going to Jail.
