STATE v. S.R.

Charge

Domestic Violence Assault

Result

Our client, a licensed health-care practitioner, could not afford ANY conviction.  The collateral consequences of the charged crime included her inability to get employment in her chosen field.  We had to secure a dismissal.  We hired a private investigator, interviewed the parties and other witnesses, and showed the prosecutor that the husband initiated the attack.  Our client merely shoved him away to escape further injury.  In this he-said/she-said environment, we were forced to get convincing witness testimony.  Eventually, the prosecutor dismissed the charge and our client was free of her nightmare.  She can now continue to work in her healthcare field.

STATE v. P.G.

Charge

OUI Refusal, Aggravated OUI (Class “C” felony), Reckless Conduct with a Deadly Weapon (Class “C” felony), Aggravated Assault (Class “B” felony)

Result

Local law enforcement did a shoddy investigation and failed to do a proper accident reconstruction in this case.  In addition, we had video evidence that supported our assertion that my client wasn’t impaired by alcohol and instead, was suffering from injuries sustained in the accident.  We also successfully argued that my client never refused to take a blood test and that the entire case was botched by the investigating officer.  As a result of our efforts, we secured dismissals of ALL four original charges.  As part of a plea agreement, my client pled guilty to a single count of Reckless Conduct (non-driving misdemeanor offense) and was placed on probation for a period of one (1) year.  Client was required to attend the 7 day alternative sentencing program.  Client, who’d never even had a speeding ticket, was able to avoid convictions on the felonies as well as the OUI Refusal, resulting in a clean criminal driver history.

STATE v. C.G.

Charge

Theft by Deception, a class C Felony

Result

The State’s evidence against our client was overwhelming, and our only option was to explain why she took the actions, what she was doing to get off the drugs and rebuild her finances, and how she planned to repay the State funds.  We worked with her therapist, her physician, her rehabilitation counselors, and her current employer.  During the time of the litigation, our client was able to successfully complete drug rehabilitation, gain good employment, and save a substantial amount of funds toward restitution.  The Prosecutor agreed to offer her a second chance and dismissed the felony.  Our client entered a guilty plea to a misdemeanor, with no incarceration and no fines.  She agreed to repay the monies stolen from the State.  She was happy that we helped her avoid a long prison term, a sizeable fine, and a felony conviction.

STATE v. D.L.

Charge

4 Counts of Possession of Sexually Explicit Material (Class “C” felonies)

Result

Client was placed on deferred disposition for a period of 18 months with the end result being a dismissal of the felony charges and a guilty plea to a single count of Invasion of Computer Privacy (non-registerable misdemeanor offense).  Client was given a psychosexual evaluation where it was learned that he posed no threat to children and never viewed the child porn with an eye towards sexual gratification.  Ultimately, the client was acting as a “vigilante”.  He would track people down through online file sharing networks, find out who had child pornography, and then threaten to turn them into the police if they didn’t take down the offensive content.  While it was a noble ideal, it was still illegal.  However, these facts as well as other issues presented to the DA got us into a position to negotiate a dismissal of the felony charges.  Client no longer has to worry about registering as a sex offender as a result of the deal reached.

STATE v. R.M.

Charge

Leaving the Scene of an Accident (personal injury) and OUI (.28% BrAC)

Result

The client initially retained another attorney to represent him.  The client’s first attorney told him that there wasn’t much he could do to help and that the DA was seeking (and likely to get) 30 days jail for the hit-and-run and OUI charges. The client was terrified of the prospect of jail and ended up retaining my services.  We did an extensive interview with the client and reviewed his medical records, where it was determined that not only had my client been diagnosed with hyperglycemia 6 days prior to the OUI, based on his glucose levels, he was diabetic.  We suggested a meeting with an endocrinologist for the purpose of evaluating the client and diagnosing him with diabetes.  We then got a forensic chemist involved who reviewed my client’s medical records and agreed with our defense that the client was likely in a state of hyperglycemia at the time of the accident and not actually intoxicated by the alcohol consumed.  The elevated breath test was due to the ketones on his breath, combined with the minimal amount of alcohol consumed earlier in the day.  Ultimately, we were able to negotiate a no-jail OUI plea for my client and the Leaving the Scene of an Accident with Personal Injury was dismissed.  My client was thrilled that the specter of jail was now just a bad memory.

CC v. JC

Charge

Divorce, with a serious child custody battle.

Result

Divorce was granted, and our client was awarded generous rights of visitation with his son.  The day after the final hearing was the first time our client visited with his son in over 7 months.  He is thrilled that he no longer is being bullied and can be with his son and share his life as he grows up.

STATE v. T.W.

Charge

OUI

Result

DA agreed to drop the case down to Driving to Endanger for a 30-day loss of license and a fine of $750.00.  The client had recently been diagnosed as pre-diabetic and we discovered that his glucose levels would have put him into ketoacidosis, which would explain the elevated breath test result.

STATE v. T.S.

Charge

Gross Sexual Assault (Class “A” Felony); Unlawful Sexual Contact (Class “C” Felony)

Result

During our investigation into the “victim’s” background, we learned that she had accused another man of sexually assaulting her.  In addition, we learned that the lead detective on the case was telling witnesses not to speak with our private investigator.  Because of the “victim’s” credibility issues, the police tampering with our investigation and the length of time that had passed from the alleged conduct to the time of the report, the DA agreed to dismiss both felony charges and my client pled guilty to a single count of Assault (Class “D” Misdemeanor).  The client was sentenced to a year of probation and no jail time as well as a fine of $300.00.  Needless to say, my client was thrilled to clear his name and avoid the possibility of a lengthy prison term.

STATE v. G.C.

Charge

OUI Refusal

Result

After intense negotiations with the DA, the OUI Refusal was dismissed in return for a plea of guilty to Driving to Endanger and a fine of $575.00.  The client is from out of state and his license will not be affected by the Driving to Endanger conviction.  Therefore, the client will be able to continue to commute back and forth for work without any negative impact on his home state license.
