People v. M. S.
Jul 20, 2015OUTCOME: Child endangerment charges raised against Laguna Beach single mother of four dismissed.
A Laguna Beach, single mother of four, was wrongly charged with child endangerment. She was innocent, and therefore the only acceptable outcome was a complete dismissal. But the prosecution did not see ... it that way, offering her a "no time" deal in exchange for her guilty plea. No way. We prepared for trial and forced the prosecution's hand. As we were about to select a jury, the District Attorney's Office blinked and the case was dismissed outright. Justice prevailed on that day.

May 13, 2015OUTCOME: Lifetime sex offender registration requirement lifted.
Client, husband and father of three, was wrongly convicted in 2002 of indecent exposure pursuant to California Penal Code section 314.1. A conviction under this seemingly minor misdemeanor penal code s ... ection has the unfortunate consequence of lifetime sex offender registration, a devastating punishment that hinders any true rehabilitation. We petitioned the court and succeeded in obtaining a certificate of rehabilitation, relieving the client from the registration obligation.
P. v. David C.
Mar 16, 2015OUTCOME: Early termination of DUI probation and dismissal of the charges.
Forty-two-year-old college teacher pleaded guilty in mid-2013 to driving under the influence. As part of his plea, he was given the usual terms and conditions of a first time DUI, including three years ... of summary probation. One-and-a-half years later, his pregnant wife, a Japanese national, developed sever complications with her second pregnancy and must return to Japan in order to get the expensive pre-natal care for her and the couple's unborn daughter. David, of course, wants to follow his wife and their two-year-old son to Japan, and applies for a teaching job. Only problem...the Japanese university is unimpressed with his DUI conviction and the fact he is still on probation. We filed a compelling petition, along with numerous declarations and documents supporting our position, with the court requesting both the early termination of probation and a dismissal of the DUI charge. And following a court hearing, we obtained everything we wanted and David is now living in Japan with his wife and kids. Yes, their baby girl was carried to term and she is healthy and beautiful.
People v. J.M.
Jan 14, 2015OUTCOME: Rape charges were dismissed and the client pleaded guilty to simple misdemeanor battery. No detention. No registration. Record sealed.
A 15 year-old client was accused of raping his underage girlfriend during a party. If convicted of the charge, he would face prolonged detention and worse -- lifetime registration as a sex offender. Fi ... rst order of business was to get the client out of juvenile detention during the pendency of the case. And following a Denis H. and William M. hearing, where we aggressively cross-examined the investigating detective, we secured his conditional release. We then immediately went to work on the case, retaining an investigator, interviewing percipient witnesses and character witnesses, issuing subpoenas for phone records, etc. Soon, the case was ready for trial and we were confident we would prevail. At the 11th hour, the prosecution offered to drop the rape in exchange for a simple misdemeanor battery. This meant that there would be no sex offender registration and the records would be sealed. Although we remain confident that we would have prevailed at trial, we understand the client's ultimate decision to play it safe and plead to the misdemeanor battery.
