Criminal Sexual Conduct—Not Guilty In Under 30 Minutes
C&N’s client was a college student who was charged with criminal sexual conduct. Our client indicated that he engaged in consensual sexual acts with a woman, but the woman later claimed that he raped her. Mary, Marisa, Lizzy, and the entire C&N team poured over the details of her claim, thoroughly investigated the case, and prepared for trial. At trial, numerous photographs and videos were admitted as exhibits to rebut the woman’s claims. After fighting for C&N’s client at trial, the jury came back with a not guilty verdict in less than 30 minutes!
Domestic Violence Case Dismissed
C&N’s client was charged with domestic violence. Marisa and Mary were able to investigate the case, including speaking with the complainant, to determine that the allegations were not true. Marisa and Mary successfully argued to the prosecutor and the court to dismiss the charge against our client. Now our client can be reunited with his wife and child—which all parties wanted—and continue having no criminal record.
Juvenile Client Placed on Consent Calendar and Charges Not Authorized
C&N’s client was a high school student who faced two counts of assault and battery in a juvenile court petition. Marisa advocated to the court on behalf of the client, arguing that he should be placed on the consent calendar. After he successfully completed the agreed upon terms, the court declined to authorize the petition against our client. C&N’s client can now complete high school with no criminal record or any charges authorized against him.
No Charges Issued for Criminal Sexual Conduct Claims
C&N’s client was accused of criminal sexual conduct by a decades-long family friend. As is typical, Takura wasted no time contacting the lead detective. C&N’s investigation showed that the claims had no basis in truth. The prosecutor agreed and consequently declined to issue serious, life-altering charges against our client.
Criminal Sexual Conduct – No Charges Issued
C&N’s client, a college student, was accused of criminal sexual conduct by a woman who accosted him. Rather than wait for charges to issue, Takura contacted the lead detective and spearheaded an investigation that countered the complainant’s claims. Ultimately, the prosecutor decided not to issue charges. Our client can now continue working toward graduation and his goal of becoming a professional athlete.
Case Dismissed for Civil Infraction
C&N’s client, who is a nurse, was charged with harassment. During negotiations, Marisa was able to explain the negative impact of a conviction on his nursing license, which would limit his ability to continue working. This resulted in securing a plea deal to dismiss the charge and instead accept responsibility for a civil infraction, as long as he had no new convictions in the next 12 months. This way C&N’s client will continue having no criminal record and can keep doing important work as a nurse.
Criminal Sexual Conduct—No Charges Issued
C&N’s client was a college student accused of criminal sexual conduct by a woman he met just once at a party. C&N’s investigation revealed her true motivation for making the false claim. Takura proactively reached out to the prosecutor, leading to no charges being issued. While the charging decision was pending, C&N’s client had peace of mind and confidence due to Takura’s extensive knowledge of the process. Now, our client can continue to work toward graduation without the prospect of life-altering criminal sexual charges hanging over his head.
Felony Drug Charges Dismissed
C&N’s client was accused of committing multiple felony drug offenses. Mary and Marisa advocated on the client’s behalf and convinced the prosecutor to dismiss all the charges against C&N’s client. Now our client can continue to provide for her family without the fear of prosecution looming over her.
Juvenile Client Placed on Consent Calendar
C&N’s client was a high school student who was charged for allegedly making threatening statements at school. Marisa advocated to the court on behalf of the client, arguing that he should be placed on the consent calendar. For juvenile cases, the consent calendar is an alternative to the formal court process that allows the juvenile to complete the agreed upon terms and ultimately have the case dismissed. The court and the prosecutor agreed to placement on the consent calendar, and C&N’s client can now complete high school with no criminal record.
Driver’s License Restoration Appeal Victory
C&N’s client had a hearing with the Secretary of State to get his restricted license restored, which was denied. Marisa appealed that decision in the circuit court. After drafting the petition and arguing at the hearing, Marisa convinced the court to reverse the Hearing Officer’s order and grant C&N’s client a restricted license. He can now drive again and plans to return to C&N in 2024 when he is eligible to apply for his full license.
