We proudly announce a significant victory for our client, a 41-year-old female from Rochdale Village. Our client faced serious charges, including:
- Criminal possession of a controlled substance in the first and second degrees
- Five counts of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree
- Criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree
- Criminal possession of a firearm
If convicted on all charges, our client who is a single mother could have faced up to 20 years in prison. However, through diligent negotiation and strategic defense, we successfully negotiated a reduction of her charges to a single count of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the seventh degree. This is a class A misdemeanor. This significant reduction in charges was pivotal, leading to our client being sentenced to a conditional discharge.
Key Outcomes:
- Significantly Reduced Charges: From multiple severe charges to a single count.
- Avoided Long Prison Sentence: Ensuring our client remained free from incarceration.
- Family Reunification: Our client was able to stay with her child, maintaining family unity during this challenging time.
This case underscores our unwavering commitment to achieving the best possible outcomes for our clients, even in the face of serious allegations. We believe in fighting for justice and ensuring that our client’s rights are protected every step of the way. This victory is a testament to our dedication and determination in the pursuit of justice.
