Reckless Driving

Long Beach Courthouse,

Our client was charged with driving on a suspended license.

We worked on the car and got the charge reduced to an infraction.

Case Dismissed

Charged with two counts, misdemeanor assault

Domestic Violence

Long Beach Courthouse

My client was charged with two counts, misdemeanor assault in violation of Penal Code section 240 and vandalism in violation of Penal Code section 594, over an incident in a Belmont Shore bar. She had never been in any kind of trouble prior to this. Regretfully, this incident occurred when she was in the middle of the application process for a law enforcement position. We presented a complete mitigation package and paid restitution. She was granted diversion and upon completion the case was dismissed.

Misdemeanors were dismissed

Carrying a Concealed Knife

Criminal Defense

Female client in Torrance Courthouse.

Our client was charged with bringing a knife onto school grounds in violation of Penal Code section 626.10 as well as having marijuana at school. Both charges were misdemeanor criminal offenses. She was an 18 year-old senior in high school preparing to graduate. Our chief objective was to prevent her from getting a criminal record of conviction. We put together a compelling mitigation package and presented it to the prosecution. They agreed and reduced the case to an infraction (simple ticket). Thus, there is no criminal record of conviction.

Case Dismissed

Charged with Giving False Information

Criminal Defense

Male client in Newport Beach, Harbor Justice Center.

My client was charged with giving false information to a police officer in violation of Penal Code section 148. After presenting the prosecution with our mitigation package showing that our client is a good person who just made a one time mistake, we were able to divert the case for community service and a donation to the victim impact fund.

Case Dismissed and no violation of probation

Charged with possession of body armor

Van Nuys Courthouse

Our client had been in the military for most of his life. He was discharged from the military after being placed on felony probation. While his discharge was pending, law enforcement performed a probation search of his residence. They found his military issued gear. He had been waiting for orders and instruction to turn it in. One of the items was his ballistic vest. He was charged with possession of body armor as a felon in violation of Penal Code section 31360(a), another felony. We were able to show that he was authorized by the court to possess the necessary military gear until his military service ended and he received his orders to turn it in. Working with the prosecutor, we obtained a just result.

Case Dismissed

Charged with Vandalism

Criminal Defense

Male client in Bellflower Courthouse.

The client came to our officer after learning he had been charged with vandalism in violation of Penal Code section 594. The misdemeanor complaint had been filed more than a year and half earlier, but he never knew of it. He was never notified of the charge being filed or a pending misdemeanor criminal case. A warrant had been issued for him. Then, one day he was pulled over by a law enforcement officer. During the stop he was told about the warrant. Luckily, he was cited and released. Once we came on the case, we prepared a Motion to Dismiss the case for unnecessary delay and a denial of his Constitutional Right to a speedy trial pursuant to Serna v. Superior Court (1985) 40 Cal3d 239. The Court granted the motion.

Charged with Illegal Possession

Drug Offenses

Female client in the Torrance Courthouse

Client was charged with a violation of Health and Safety Code section 11350, illegal possession of a controlled substance, heroin. Through negotiations with the prosecutor, we arranged for our client to attend narcotics anonymous meetings and the case was dismissed.

No Charges Filed

Charged with Felony Domestic Violence with Great Bodily Injury

Domestic Violence

Male client in Indio California

Our client was arrested for a felony domestic violence incident with great bodily injury. Our team immediately started our investigation and the interviewing of witnesses. We were able to prove the accusations untrue and made out of anger while being extremely intoxicated. The injuries had not been caused by the client, but a product of her being drunk. We also showed a history of false accusations by the accuser, made while she was intoxicated. We presented our investigation to the prosecution along with our mitigation package prior to the filing of any charges.

Charges Reduced

Charged with Criminal Threats

Criminal Defense

Male client in Long Beach Courthouse.

Our client was charged with two misdemeanor counts of criminal threats in violation of Penal Code section 422. The allegations arose out of a verbal dispute with a neighbor. The client was a vice president in the banking industry and could not afford a criminal conviction of this kind. Through negotiations with the prosecution and a complete review of how the incident came about, the charges were reduced to one count of disturbing the peace in violation of section 415 and counseling.
