My client faced a drug possession charge, failed to appear in court several times, and lost custody of her children based on her drug use. After losing her children, she got sober and stayed that way for almost two years, earning back her custody rights. When she returned to criminal court, I told the judge about her progress, detailing all the positive changes my client had made in her life since her arrest. I asked the judge to dismiss the case entirely, in the interests of justice. The judge agreed and all charges were dismissed.
