Driver’s License Restored
C&N’s client lived out-of-state, and when he went to renew his license, he learned that there was a hold on it due to previous drunk driving convictions. This prevented him from being able to renew his license and continue driving. Marisa prepared the application to remove the hold on his Michigan driver’s license, and after she presented the case at the hearing, the hold was removed. Our client can now renew his out-of-state license and continue working to support his family.
Felony Child Abuse Charge Dismissed
C&N’s client was an engineer who was admitted to the United States on a specialty visa and consequently faced deportation when she was charged with a violent felony. Takura diligently prepared and submitted a compelling mitigation packet. Then he convinced the client and her child to seek extensive services. The packet and proof of completed services played a pivotal role in Takura securing a dismissal. Our client can continue to provide for her family and stay in the country that has afforded her so many opportunities.
Child Sexually Abusive Material—No Charges Issued
C&N’s client was facing significant prison time due to consecutive sentences for possessing child sexually abusive material in two different counties. We were able to negotiate a resolution that resulted in one county not issuing charges, which saved the client from serving a significant amount of time in prison.
Criminal Sexual Conduct—No Charges Issued
Mary represented a client who was accused by his 4-year-old granddaughter of sexually assaulting her with a massage gun. The claim was utterly implausible because it supposedly occurred in front of several other adults and children. Still, the granddaughter’s parents reported the accusation to the police. C&N engaged in an extensive investigation. Fortunately, the prosecutor reviewed all the evidence and information that C&N submitted and declined to issue any charges. Our client can now move on with his life without the threat of these false claims.

Criminal Sexual Conduct—Not Guilty Verdicts Across the Board
C&N’s client was charged with three counts of criminal sexual conduct. Our client indicated that he was ending his relationship with the woman, and she then 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. After fighting for C&N’s client at trial, the jury came back with not guilty verdicts across the board!
Lying to a Police Officer—Court of Appeals Victory
C&N’s client was charged in a high-profile case for lying to a police officer about a conversation that had supposedly occurred decades before. Mary, Takura, Lizzy, Kim, and the entire C&N team poured over hundreds of thousands of reports, and they investigated and interviewed dozens of witnesses. C&N argued that—based on the undisputed facts—the government could not meet the elements of the offense. The Court of Appeals agreed, and the client’s convictions were finally reversed. She can now live her life free of these allegations.
Criminal Sexual Conduct—Not Guilty Verdicts Across the Board
C&N’s client was accused of three counts of criminal sexual conduct. Our client indicated that the encounter with the complainant was a one-night stand. The complainant said it was rape.
