Client was charged in NYS Supreme Court with money laundering, conspiracy and criminal sale of a controlled substance. We fought the case for several years while the client was released on recognizance. Client maintained employment and housing while we handled the case. Patience is a virtue because in the end, we worked out a misdemeanor plea and Client received a conditional discharge. No jail, no probation, no fine. Extremely proud of the work our team did here.
