OUTCOME: CASE DISMISSED by Judge after hearing on Motion to Suppress Evidence

Client pulled over by CHP on the highway for driving too slowly and not having current registration sticker. After doing field sobriety tests, client was arrested for DUI and taken to jail, where he wa ... s given a blood test. His blood test showed a blood alcohol level of .17 (more than twice the legal limit). I argued that the blood test results should be "suppressed" (not allowed in evidence) because the client hadn't properly given consent for his blood to be drawn and the cop hadn't gotten a warrant. Judge agreed, blood suppressed and case thrown out!

OUTCOME: CASE DISMISSED after preliminary hearing

Client charged with human trafficking and coercing a minor to engage in prostitution and also with assault with a deadly weapon causing great bodily injury. Both very serious charges carrying lengthy ... prison sentences and requiring registration as a sex offender. Client initially jailed with two million dollars bail. After a preliminary hearing where the "victim" is shown to have some major credibility problems, bail is substantially reduced and client bails out.

OUTCOME: CASE DISMISSED by Judge after hearing on Motion to Dismiss

32- year old female client arrested and charged for the first time, after police raid her house and find evidence of drug trafficking. She bails out of jail and over the next 16 months is repeatedly to ... ld that no charges have been filed. In fact, the DA did file charges - two felonies - eleven months after client was arrested! The DA just never bothered to notify her or serve her with an arrest warrant. I argue that she has been prejudiced by the delay and the Judge agrees - CASE DISMISSED!

Nov 14, 2016

OUTCOME: CASE DISMISSED by Judge after hearing on Motion to Suppress Evidence.

Client arrested for driving with .15 blood alcohol level, after being stopped by officer for driving a car with tinted windows. I filed a Motion to Suppress evidence based on the officer not having pr ... obable cause for the stop. At hearing on the motion, the officer testified that he knew the windows were tinted but he didn't know if they were ILLEGALLY tinted when he stopped the car (not all tinted windows are illegal). The Judge ruled that there was not probable cause to stop my client's car - motion granted! All of the evidence of intoxication collected after the stop was suppressed, so the DA could not proceed with their case. The DMV also set aside this client's license suspension so he has his licence back and no points/no increased insurance premium!

Jun 09, 2015

OUTCOME: CASE DISMISSED by Judge after hearing on Motion to Dismiss for Failure to Grant Speedy Trial

Charged with three felony counts of cultivating marijuana and possessing marijuana for sale (5.5 pounds and 1410 plants). Client was not at home when search warrant was executed and was not arrested u ... ntil three years later (two codefendants were arrested and charged immediately). I argued that by the time my client was brought to court, so much time had passed that she could not get a fair trial, and it was the prosecution's fault for not making efforts to find her and arrest her earlier. The Judge agreed and granted the motion - all charges dismissed!

OUTCOME: ALL CHARGES DISMISSED on first day of trial .

My client was charged with domestic violence after a fight with his girlfriend. The physical evidence didn't support the girlfriend's claims, but the D.A. stubbornly refused to drop the case. He anno ... unced he was ready for trial and that the girlfriend was going to testify. The D.A. must have finally looked at the evidence, however, because , on the morning of trial, after we were sent to a courtroom to pick a jury, he changed his mind and asked the Judge to dismiss the case. My client was extremely pleased!
