What Clients Say About Us
Case Results
The attorneys at our Firm have been obtaining outstanding results in San Diego County for the better part of the past two decades. These outcomes have included not guilty verdicts at jury trials in every courthouse in the County, cases being dismissed outright, and plea bargains few thought were possible.
Here are a few of our recent case results:
MURDER & VOLUNTARY MANSLAUGHTER CHARGES
Not Guilty Verdicts At Jury Trial
El Cajon Courthouse. Client was facing 26 years-life. Released from custody within hours of not guilty verdicts after spending 18 months in custody pending trial. Client back with U.S. military.
FIRST DEGREE MURDER
Early Release per SB 1437
Downtown San Diego Courthouse. Client had been sentenced to 25 years to life in prison for first-degree murder and robbery. We filed a motion under SB 1437 to vacate the conviction and it was granted. The client was resentenced to credit for time served and was released from prison after serving 10 years.
FEDERAL IMPORTATION OF CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES
3 Separate Cases Dismissed within 18 months
First Case: Federal Court – Southern District of California. Client alleged to have brought nearly 20 kilograms of controlled substances across the border from Mexico and was facing a significant prison sentence. Client proclaimed innocence from the outset stating that she drove the vehicle across without any knowledge of the drugs. Following an extensive investigation by our team, the Government agreed to dismiss the case in its entirety.
Second Case: Federal Court – Southern District of California. Client drove his vehicle across the border from Mexico. Customs and Border Protection agents discovered over 24 kilograms of controlled substances in his vehicle. Client claimed he had no knowledge. After a months-long investigation by our team, the Government was convinced that they could not prove their case and dismissed.
Third Case: Federal Court – Southern District of California. Client hired our firm after previous attorney encouraged a guilty plea which would have subjected the client to years in prison. After uncovering some helpful evidence and carefully leveraging some important timing issues in the case, the Government dismissed the case in its entirety against our client.
