People v. M.R.
TWV800XXX
My underage client was involved in a motor vehicle collision and subsequently arrested for misdemeanor Driving Under the Influence. Given the fact that my client was under 21 years of age and was involved in an alcohol related traffic collision, the District Attorney was determined to get a conviction for misdemeanor D.U.I. under age 21. I investigated the case and was able to determine that the traffic collision was the fault of the other driver and not my client. After several meetings with the DA, I was able to secure a reduction of the misdemeanor to an infraction with a fine and NO PROBATION and NO CLASSES
People v. J.R.
FVI025XXX
My client was arrested on two counts of Felony Driving Under the Influence and Felony Reckless Driving with Great Bodily Injury. After meeting with the client and learning the circumstances of the event that lead to his arrest, I was able to present my client's position to the District Attorney and was able to get one Felony D.U.I count and the Felony Reckless Driving with Great Bodily Injury dismissed. The client was placed on probation and was required to do some local county jail.
While on probation, the client was arrested for violating the terms of his probation and I was able to prevent him from being sentenced to state prison despite his probation officer's recommendation to the Court.
Not long after my client was reinstated on probation, he was arrested and charged with a second probation violation. After meeting with the Court and the probation officer, I was able to secure a referral to Drug Court thereby keeping my client out of state prison a second time.

After an argument at a local hotel, the police arrested my client for Felony Domestic Violence, Penal Code Section 273.5. Before the case was filed, I was able to contact the District Attorney and convince the issuing DA to file the case as a misdemeanor. After the case was filed, I was able to present facts to the District Attorney that would have made it VERY difficult to win at trial. My client ended up pleading no contest to a violation of Penal Code Section 415, Disturbing the Peace, was placed on probation for two years, and paid a minimal fine.

My client was on probation for a Petty Theft when he was arrested for another Petty Theft and a Burglary. I was able to convince the District Attorney not to file the second Petty Theft as a felony thereby eliminating the possibility that my client could go to state prison. After speaking with witnesses and presenting the facts to the District Attorney, I was able to negotiate for a dismissal of the Burglary charge and my client had to do 15 days on a work release program, pay a small fine, and was placed on informal probation.
