INNOCENT MAN FREED, RAPE CASE DISMISSED:

My client was a plumber charged with sexually assaulting his ex-wife. At the time I entered the case, he was represented by another lawyer and had been sitting in jail for many months awaiting trial. Virtually everyone involved in the case, including his former attorney, were totally convinced of his guilt. Through my belief in my client's innocence and my relentless pursuit of the truth, I succeeded in proving to a jury that the man had not raped the alleged victim and that their sexual encounter was consensual. My client was released from jail, and all charges were dismissed.

JURY ACQUITTAL OF FELONY ASSAULT:

My client, an indigent New Yorker, was charged with felony assault. The police claimed that he had stabbed a clothing store clerk with a scissors for no reason. Based on the testimony of my client and various eyewitnesses, located through defense investigation, I presented a theory of self-defense to the trial jury and vigorously cross-examined the prosecution's witnesses. The jury found my client not guilty.

JURY ACQUITTAL OF SEXUAL ASSAULT:

My client, a successful businessman and owner of a Denver-based security alarm company, was charged with sexually assaulting a new female employee at his business. He vigorously denied the charges. For reasons of trial strategy, I decided it would be best to refrain from calling my client as a witness in his own defense. Instead, I extensively prepared my attack on the credibility of the "victim." Thorough investigation of the case revealed that this was not the first such claim she had made and that she possessed not one, but three distinct social security numbers. In the crucible of cross-examination, I exposed her as a liar on several key points. The jury acquitted my client of all charges.

DISCIPLINE OF UNRULY CHILD IS NOT CHILD ABUSE:

My client, a stern father with a troubled daughter, was charged with assault and child abuse. His daughter had claimed that he assaulted her and injured her head. He maintained that he was merely preventing her from running away again. I persuaded the District attorney in this case that this was justified discipline and that all charges should be dismissed.

FELONY MENACING JURY ACQUITTAL:

My client was driving along Berthoud pass when another car passed him illegally. In one of the earliest "road rage" cases, I successfully defended him against charges that he had pulled a gun on the other driver. After hearing from our witnesses who could back up the claim that the other driver could not possibly have seen what he had claimed, the jury found my client innocent of all charges.

FALSE ACCUSATIONS OF CHILD MOLESTATION DISMISSED:

My client was falsely accused by a neighbor's child of fondling her. The case looked hopeless. It was her word against his. Her story was simple but consistent. She had no obvious motive to lie. During the course of the case, she repeatedly accused him of violating a restraining order by calling out to her across the yard. The prosecutor filed a motion to revoke bond. My investigator and I laid a careful trap which proved that the girl was lying about the restraining order violations. My presentation to the prosecutor so thoroughly convinced her of the child's lying that she dismissed all of the charges before trial

JURY ACQUITTAL OF "PEEPING TOM":

My client was accused "peeping" into a woman's window at night. I aggressively investigated the case and personally canvassed the scene of the alleged incident. Ultimately, I found that it would have been difficult to impossible for this woman to identify my client - other than to notice that he was an African-American male. I successfully convinced the trial jury that my client was the wrong man.

VEHICLE STOP INVALID -- ALL EVIDENCE SUPPRESSED, CASE DISMISSED:

My client, a Mexican here in the U.S. without the requisite paperwork, was charged with illegal entry in federal court. He was arrested when the I.N.S. stopped a van in which he was one of several passengers. The case was extremely serious and my client faced deportation and possible prison. After exhaustive factual and legal research, I believed that the police stopped my client illegally, based primarily on the non-crime of driving while Mexican. After I battled the United States Attorney at pre-trial suppression hearings, the court agreed that the stop of my client's van was illegal. All evidence was suppressed, and the entire case was dismissed.

SEX CASE DISMISSED:

My client, a young Philippine mother, was charged with the sexual molestation of her toddler son. She faced substantial prison time if convicted. She had admitted to the police that she had kissed her son's genitals. Even with this damaging admission, I was able to convince the District Attorney that she had no intention to seek sexual gratification. All charges were dismissed.

FEDERAL DRUG CONSPIRACY CASE DISMISSED:

My client was a prior felony offender on parole at the time of his arrest in this case. The United States had charged him with a federal drug sale conspiracy. My repeated examination of the evidence in the case and thorough investigation led me to believe that the true seller was actually the client's own family and that he was being used as a dupe by them. If convicted, my client would be in prison for decades. As the case wore on, I was able to secure an offer that would have resulted in only a minimal sentence for him. Eventually my persistence in refusing even that plea paid off handsomely. The family confessed their involvement and exculpated my client. The federal prosecutor dismissed all charges.

INCEST JAIL SENTENCE AVOIDED:

My client was a successful local car dealer with a secret - he had a prior felony conviction and a current felony case. He was accused of sexually assaulting his teenage daughter repeatedly over time. He had a lawyer before me. He had admitted his conduct to the police. I immediately entered my client into an intensive sexual offender rehabilitation program. I arranged a resolution by which my client avoided any jail sentence whatsoever.

HARASSMENT & THREATS DISMISSED:

My client was a used clothing store owner falsely accused of harassing another tenant with a business in the building where he owned his store. After my exhaustive investigation, which revealed that this woman had a history of making false charges, all charges were dismissed.
