Beating the Odds: Felony Case Dismissed, Client Walks Free
From Facing Prison to Complete Dismissal
In one of our recent victories, a young man with no prior criminal history found himself facing a nightmare: multiple felony strike charges —including two counts of felony assault, felony burglary, and brandishing a firearm—along with three separate gang enhancements. The stakes were high. The prosecution was offering a deal that would send him to prison for several years and two strikes on his record.
We said no.
Instead of accepting a plea, we challenged everything. We took the case to a contested hearing and attacked the prosecution’s evidence from every angle—from the credibility of the witnesses to the reliability of the police investigation and all the gang evidence that the prosecution tried to introduce. Over two days of intense and relentless litigation, we exposed the weaknesses in their case.
And the result?
The District Attorney dismissed the case in its entirety.
No conviction. No prison. A clean slate.
Our client and his family were overwhelmed with relief. For them, this wasn’t just a legal win—it was the difference between a future in prison and a future full of possibility.
