State of Louisiana v. J.S.

Mar 27, 2017

OUTCOME: Sex crime cases dismissed by ADA. Felony Terrorizing case reduced down to misdemeanor assault (2 counts) and sentenced under 894, retroactive to arrest date, and case dismissed on date of plea.

Client arrested for the sex crimes of Felony Sexting with a minor and also felony carnal knowledge of a juvenile. Client also arrested, separately, for felony terrorizing when he and a juvenile friend ... , drove around town pointing a pellet gun (which to many looked like a real gun) at more than a dozen people who were standing in their yards. This was a difficult and complicated case which required me to dig deep into the mental health arena and also get my client to do all he could to show remorse with the victims in this case. My client agreed and successfully worked through mental health treatment and completed several conditions set forth by the ADA which we had negotiated in the course of this case. In the end, all of his felony sex crime cases were dismissed and the terrorizing charges were reduced to misdemeanors and our client was able to start his life with a fresh start. This could not have been accomplished without our client's hard work and behavioral modifications he instituted under our watchful eye.

State of Louisiana v. S.D.

Mar 20, 2017

OUTCOME: Client got reduced charge from armed robbery to felony theft and was sentenced under 893 retroactive to arrest and case dismissed

Client arrested for armed robbery for conduct around the LSU Lakes. I intervened early and met with the prosecutor and presented my client's uniqueness and the prosecutor agreed to formally charge wit ... h the much lower offense of simple robbery and to see if client could stay out of trouble as I suggested. Client had shown proof, after years of trying, of getting his GED. Client also has done CEDMS, SAE, Theft Deterrant Class, a couple of DAWN classes, got TWIC card and maintained employment (for the most part) and avoided any other trouble. Based upon this extended period of remedial behavior, the prosecutor then reduced the charge from Simple Robbery to Felony Theft. Client PG to Felony Theft under 893. Probation was retroactive to the date of arrest and the case was dismissed on the day of sentencing.

Sep 20, 2016

OUTCOME: Case reduced from serious felonies to misdemeanors with deferred sentences under 894 and later dismissed after probation completed.

Client was in high school but arrested and prosecuted as an adult for selling HUNDREDS of illegal pills. He was caught by the police on two different occasions and we had to work to avoid him ruining ... his entire life with this small spree. I was able to attack the facts in the case and also mitigate the charges due to our client's youth and lack of wherewithal. The ADA, after an extended period where my client stayed out of trouble, graduated from high school, and showed he could be a responsible citizen agreed to reduce the matters down to misdemeanors with probation and deferred sentencing under 894.

Police also found over $1500 in the house and client told the police he was an LSU student and had no other source of income except selling marijuana. Client had no criminal record prior to this arrest and was attending LSU. We put together a thick mitigation package and went all the way to the 1st Assistant District Attorney and managed to secure pretrial diversion for our client which he subsequently completed successfully and all charges were dropped. Further, we managed to keep our client from being expelled from LSU. Client was suspended for a semester, but was able to re-enter LSU in the fall semester and he was able to graduate from LSU.

OUTCOME: Case reduced down to single possession charge. Client given probation under article 893. We moved for early termination of probation and client's case dismissed 3 years early!

Client arrested TWICE for selling drugs on campus at Southern University. Client arrested the second time in his own dorm room with drugs in his possession. He was identified both times as being the ... seller. Still, client has not been in trouble before and had a remarkable life which we explained to the ADA and eventually the DA, himself. After all of our work, and our client committing to complete special conditions PRIOR to any plea agreement, the ADA dismissed a bill on PWID MJ and Illegal Carrying of Weapon with CDS. Also, the ADA dismissed another charge of PWID Sch IV and amended it from PWID MJ to 2nd offense possession of MJ. Client PG and was sentenced under 893 to 5 years ASP, $300 Fine + cc, SAE under Roy Mitchell. He signed up with probation and parole and had to live with his mom in Opelousas. The judge allowed him to transfer his probation to Opelousas. He also had to do an Angola tour, 100 CSW with 50 being at his church here and 50 being at mom's church in Opelousas. Finally, he had to go talk to a group at his high school about the danger of drugs, and he talk with "Dr. Harris" who lives in Opelousas, about how to live a good life and do a paper about it. Client completed all of these conditions early with our support and had his probation of five years reduced to two years. His case was then dismissed under La. C.Cr.P. art. 893.

Criminal defense

State of Louisiana v. W.M.

May 09, 2016

OUTCOME: Case dismissed by prosecutor.

Client was arrested March 8, 2014, for multiple felony drug charges, felony criminal damage to property and theft. Client was accused of possessing scheduled drugs without a valid prescription, destro ... ying the inside of a hotel room and theft from a previous outstanding arrest warrant. Client was a veteran who had come home from overseas with PTSD and had been self-medicating and not seeking either counseling or proper medical help. We began this odyssey with client and proceeded to get him substance abuse treatment and counseling through the VA. This case had its highs and lows including relapses and contempt time for missing court due to falling off the wagon. We also questioned the validity of the search through motion practice and poked just enough holes in the case that our efforts to clean up our client, convince the ADA to dismiss the case some two years after the initial arrest.
