My client faced charges in three cases. We went to jury trial on one of the cases to fight the charges. At trial, the District Attorney failed to advise their witness not to talk about my client's uncharged acts. I moved for a mistrial and the judge granted my motion. Because of the mistrial, the judge and District Attorney were willing to negotiate a resolution of all three cases for less jail time than my client would have received after trial.

My client was charged with assault with force likely to create great bodily injury, a felony that carries the possibility state prison time. I thoroughly reviewed the police reports and was able to show the District Attorney that they would have trouble proving that charge. I collected positive information about my client and investigated whether the alleged victim wanted to prosecute. Based on everything I presented to the District Attorney, they agreed to resolve the case for a misdemeanor Disturbing the Peace charge, 15 days on alternative sentencing, and one year of probation. This resolution protected my client's gun rights as well as avoiding jail time.

My client was charged with kidnapping, robbery, carjacking, and assault with force likely to create great bodily injury, all felonies that carry the possibility of prison time. I challenged the District Attorney's evidence at a preliminary hearing and brought to light weaknesses in the case against my client. I filed a motion asking the judge to grant my client mental health diversion. At the contested hearing on my motion, I pointed out the weaknesses in the District Attorney's case against my client. The judge granted my motion and allowed my client to engage in treatment. If she successfully completes diversion, all of her charges will be dismissed.

My client was charged with a felony DUI involving injury. I collected positive information about my client and advised her to enter outpatient treatment and enroll in a DUI class. Based on my client's efforts to rehabilitate herself, the District Attorney agreed to resolve the case as a misdemeanor with alternative sentencing so she did not have to go to jail.

My client was charged with a serious felony for allegedly assaulting a store employee during a theft. I reviewed all surveillance footage and was able to demonstrate to the DA that my client did not make physical contact with the employee. The felony was dismissed and the case resolved for a simple theft charge.

My client faced felony burglary and theft charges in three different cases. A warrant had been outstanding for a long time. When my client turned herself in on the warrant, I was able to demonstrate to the DA that she had been rehabilitated since her arrests. Based on that, the DA resolved the case for misdemeanors with no additional jail time.

My client was charged with felony evading the police and driving under the influence. He faced six months in custody. I gathered and provided positive information about my client to the DA. Based on that information, the DA agreed to resolve the case for a misdemeanor with no in-custody time.

My client was charged with felony car theft. At preliminary hearing I was able to convey to the DA that my client had no idea that the car had been reported stolen. The DA dismissed the case.

My client lost his drivers' license for driving under the influence. At a DMV hearing, the hearing officer confirmed a one year license suspension. We appealed that decision based on law enforcement's failure to properly document the breathalyzer testing. We won on appeal and the client's license was reinstated.

My client was accused of committing a serious felony. I gathered positive information about my client and presented it to the DA before they charged the case. After reviewing what I provided, the DA declined to file charges.

My client is a mother of three who faced almost six years in prison. I filed a sentencing brief and argued at sentencing that she should be placed on probation instead. The judge agreed, allowing my client to continue with mental health treatment, continue working, and continue to care for her children.

My client was charged with a misdemeanor for engaging in a speed contest. I gathered and presented positive information about my client to the DA. After reviewing what I presented, the DA agreed to reduce the charge to an infraction. This resolution protected my client's record and avoided a term of probation.
