People v. JR
Our Client was charged with Felony Possession of a Controlled Substance. The police claimed to have seen our Client and other individuals drinking on the public way in the back of an abandon building. As the police approached for a field interview, our Client allegedly placed a bag of narcotics inside of a vehicle. The police searched the vehicle and recovered over 10 grams of cocaine. The prosecution was offering a felony conviction on the case. We had a conference with the Judge and were able to convince the Judge to give our Client a second chance. Our Client avoided a felony conviction and was sentenced to expungeable probation.

Client was charged with Armed Robbery with a Firearm and Aggravated Unlawful Restraint. The Client was facing 21-45 years in prison. It was alleged that our Client and another individual robbed a man at gun point at the train station and stole his I-Phone. The Police used the GPS feature on phone to track it to a cell phone store miles away. When the Police arrived the store owner said two individuals were just trying to sell the phone but were unable to unlock it. Although the assailants had already left, the store was able to provide the police officers with a video that allegedly depicted our Client attempting to sell the phone. We took the case to trial and were victorious with a Not Guilty Verdict.

People v. JC
Our Client was charged with Felony Manufacturing and Delivery of more than 1 gram of a Controlled Substance. He was facing 4-15 years in prison and a mandatory prison sentence because of the amount of drugs which tested positive at the crime lab. The Police said they were on surveillance when they saw our Client and another person engage in a conversation on the street and hand to hand transaction on the street. After our client left the scene, he was detained and searched. Officers claim to have recovered 10 ziploc baggies of heroin. We were able to convince the prosecution to reduce the charges to a straight possession. We also convinced the prosecution to offer a special type of expungeable probation for our Client. The special probation also avoids a felony conviction.

Our Client was placed on Felony Probation for a period of 24 months.

People v. AL
Our Client was charged with 3 separate cases: A Felony Residential Burglary, An Attempt Felony Residential Burglary and a Felony Possession of a Controlled Substance. He was facing up to 15 years in prison if he was convicted. It was alleged that our Client broke into someone's house and stole a digital camera, laptop, iphone, wallet, credit cards and a bookbag. While inside the house, he was confronted by the owner and chased away. Our Client was also caught on camera in another instance attempting to break into another person's house. After unsuccessfully trying to break into the house, he committed multiple acts of vandalism and destruction of the Victim's property. He was picked out in a line-up for that incident. Finally, our Client was also stopped police after they were alerted that he was trying to pick-pocket some people. When they searched him, they found 22 bags of narcotics. Although the case went beyond the Preliminary Hearing Stages we were able to convince the Judge to go along with TASC probation for our Client over the Prosecution's strenuous objection. TASC probation is a special kind of probation that includes drug treatment. If our Client successfully completes the probation, he is eligible to have his convictions vacated and avoid having these felonies remain on his permanent record.

All charges were dismissed at the Preliminary Hearing.
