The Challenge

This case involved allegations that our client discharged a firearm during an argument. As a result, our client was charged with multiple felony offenses. These charges would impact our client’s ability to keep their job and find new work and could have resulted in our client going to prison.

Legal Strategy

We worked closely with our client to obtain information to present to the prosecutor’s office to show what type of person our client is. This information changed the prosecutor’s mind about pursuing the case.

Case Results

The case was dismissed.

The Best Outcomes

Intoxication

We proved our client did nothing wrong, and the prosecutor agreed to dismiss the case.

Assault, Domestic Violence in the Presence of a Child

Convince the prosecutor that given the evidence and their witness’s availability and credibility, the State would not prevail at trial. In this case, we had to aggressively pursue our client’s speedy trial rights and fight against the prosecutor’s attempts to delay the trial.

Aggravated Assault

In aggravated assault cases, it is critical for our team of attorneys and private investigators to conduct investigations beyond what law enforcement has done. This includes finding and interviewing additional witnesses and also researching the alleged victim. Often, we’re able to discover other eye-witnesses and even camera footage. We must work quickly, especially if our our client is held in jail. As a result, we can discover the truth and either win at trial or even negotiate a dismissal of the charges.
