After trying several traditional methods we were able to serve the defendant by publication. We presented our evidence at a hearing, the judge agreed, and his child support was modified.
OUTCOME: 1 charge dismissed and Significantly reduced plea offer from 2 years down to probation
Client was charged in two different cases. He moved out of state for his job and missed the notice for his court date. He was arrested on a bench warrant and extradited to Georgia. He sat in jail fo ... r 6 months before someone referred him to Brian Tevis. Brian quickly obtained the necessary records from out of state to get his case going forward again and filed motions to suppress evidence and a demurrer. He then successfully negotiated a plea deal from what the DA wanted (5 years to serve 2 years in prison) down to a sentence commuted to time served and some probation with one of the charges to be dropped. The client took the new offer on the spot and was released from jail within 24 hours.
OUTCOME: Reduced charge and probation
Client was charged with Armed Robbery for arranging a meeting between her co-defendant and the victim in the case. The co-defendant used a taser on the victim and stole her purse and prescription pain ... pills. We were able to negotiate with the district attorney to reduce the armed robbery (minimum of 10-20 years) down to robbery (1-20). We demonstrated to the Judge that my client was doing extremely well recovering from a drug problem and would be better suited to house arrest where she can take care of her 6 week old baby and her other two children. She received 10 years probation with 2 years being on home confinement.
