This week, after a two day jury trial, we received a verdict in under an hour on a serious felony case. A group of selfless jurors set aside their lives until after 7 p.m. to do their civic duty. Every jury trial I have the pleasure of doing, I see selfless folks set aside their busy lives to show up for jury duty and remind us all why we still live in the greatest country in the world, despite our flaws as a nation. Kudos to them.

After investing so much into a case, I cannot express the feeling when you hear those two words “Not Guilty” read aloud in open court. Especially when you come to know someone as more than just a Defendant, but rather as a person. It is hard to express the joy you feel for them in that moment. It will never get old to me, and it is why I love what I do.

Congratulations to my client.

14-Count Indictment Dismissed ⚖️

A significant legal victory was achieved in a felony jury trial that commenced this week, culminating in the dismissal of all charges against my client. This dismissal came after the attachment of double jeopardy, thereby precluding any further prosecution.

My client faced charges that had an aggregate possible sentence, had the client been convicted, would have been up to 70.5 years, inclusive of indefinite sentencing possibilities (but excluding any potential merger).

The key factor behind this dismissal was meticulous preparation and strategic approach. Upon empaneling the jury and the attachment of double jeopardy, my office strategically filed motions that we believe would have led to the exclusion of key evidence, prompting the prosecution to promptly dismiss all charges. The jury never even got to hear the first piece of evidence after being sworn in.

***NOT GUILTY***

A great start to the week. 👇

My client was charged with one count of ‘Telecommunications Harassment', a first-degree misdemeanor with a maximum sentence of up to 180 days incarceration.

After a bench trial to the Court this week, my client was found not guilty of the charge.

Another favorable outcome in the books.

My client, [Jane Doe], was charged with the following charges:

(1) Breaking an Entering, fifth degree felony;
(2) Complicity to Breaking and Entering, fifth degree felony; and
(3) Child Endangerment, first-degree misdemeanor.

Earlier last month, after a two day jury trial, my client was found NOT GUILTY on both felony charges by a jury of her peers.

My client was only convicted of the single misdemeanor offense, and was ultimately was sentenced to probation last week.

Yesterday, a two-day jury trial came to a close.

The result?

I successfuly defended my client against a one count indictment of Domestic Violence, a Felony of the 4th degree.

The jury quickly returned a verdict of Not Guilty and my client was acquitted of the charge.
