Memorable Wins
My client was facing LIFE under the three strikes law for criminal threats and domestic violence with great bodily injury. I got the case reduced to a misdemeanor and settled for time served. My client was released within two weeks of his arrest.
My client was facing double digit prison time for domestic violence with great bodily injury and child endangerment. My client had a prior strike, which would double his sentence if he was found guilty. After my representation at a 5 day trial, my client was found NOT GUILTY on all felony counts and was held on a misdemeanor. He received summary probation with no jail time.
My Client was going to sign a deal for 1 year county jail plus formal probation on two straight felonies when I came on the case. I got the charges changed to WOBBLERS. This would allow him to get his gun rights back once he gets the felonies reduced to misdemeanors, which the other charges would not allow. Instead of 1 year county jail he received 180 days work release.
