Notable Work

Cases

Parties Sealed by Stipulation

Practice Area: General practice Date: Nov 13, 2014 Outcome: Criminal charges dismissed / Civil settlement: $95,000.00 Description: After being arrested on three serious criminal charges including a weapons count, our office proved the charges to be completely erroneous. Through diligent strategic planning and a carefully crafted approach, all of the criminal charges were dismissed entirely. Our strong victory in the criminal case enabled the successful prosecution of a Federal Civil Rights Lawsuit against 14 separate defendants. The federal lawsuit alleged discrimination, harassment, and retaliation. After many months of strong advocacy and protecting the clients rights we secured a nearly six figure award for the client.
