  • Robbery Charges Dropped -Practice Area: Criminal defense -Outcome: Dismissed -Description: Our client was charged with unarmed robbery and assault and battery. He had been indicted as a habitual offender so he was facing a mandatory life sentence. Our attorneys prepared for trial by conducting a thorough investigation and developing a number of strong defenses. Through strong cross-examination and compelling argument, our attorneys convinced the jury to return a verdict t of not guilty. Weapons Charges -Practice Area: Criminal defense -Outcome: Dismissed -Description: Our client was accused of possessing a handgun and various drugs. He was facing a lengthy state prison sentence. Our attorneys believed that the police had unlawfully stopped the motor vehicle. We brought a Motion to Suppress all evidence including the gun and the drugs. We argued that the police officer had violated our client’s Constitutional rights. Because of our withering cross-examination of the arresting officer and our persuasive oral and written advocacy, we convinced the judge to suppress all evidence. All charges against our client were dismissed. Sex Crimes -Practice Area: Criminal defense -Outcome: Not Guilty -Description: Our client was accused of rape of a child and indecent assault and battery on a child. Through extensive pre-trial litigation and investigation, we were able to gather evidence proving that the alleged victim should not be believed. Armed with this evidence, we vigorously attacked the credibility of the prosecutor’s witnesses at trial. The jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty on all counts.
