When handling criminal law cases, I strive to either have the charges dismissed and/or obtain a not guilty verdict in each and every case that I take on. My number one goal is to win every case for every single one of my clients. However, it is impossible to win 100% of the time, but that does not ever prevent me from trying to obtain that result for everyone who hires me. Even though my philosophy is to win every case no matter how much evidence there may be against one of my clients, I never 100% guarantee or assure that a case will be won. On your case, we went to a jury trial and it ended in a mistrial, and then we were set to trial a second time on your case. If you will recall, a few minutes prior to the the commencement of the second trial, you were offered a way to have your charges dismissed against you without risking the possibility of you losing your case and having a conviction on your record for the rest of your life. This was the first time that this manner of obtaining a dismissal was offered, and you agreed to avert the trial and obtain a dismissal, without you having to plead guilty or being on probation, as you were never placed on probation. You agreed to a pre-trial program, which upon successful completion of it, your case would then be dismissed. You were also made aware that the program and the classes were not free, and that you would be responsible for that cost. By this time, you should have completed the program and the charges should have been dismissed against you. I wish you much luck in the future.
