Chartier & Nyamfukudza, P.L.C. is proud that our team has achieved positive outcomes for so many deserving clients. Please keep in mind that the success of any case depends on the unique circumstances of each case. We cannot guarantee future results based on past successes we have achieved.

Federal Felonies - No Charges Issues

C&N’s client was facing several federal felonies after being shot with a stolen firearm tied to a string of unsolved crimes. Takura got right to work and contacted the lead agent. After several months of investigation and discussions, Takura convinced the agent that our client was not involved, and the government decided not to issue charges. Now our client can pursue her personal and professional goals without the cloud of these very serious charges.

Misdemeanor Dismissed for Civil Infraction

C&N’s client was a college student who was charged with a misdemeanor. Marisa successfully negotiated with the city attorney’s office to have the misdemeanor charge dismissed. After paying a fine for a civil infraction, our client can now focus on college without the weight of a criminal conviction on her shoulders.

Assault & Battery Case Ultimately Dismissed

C&N’s client was charged with assault and battery. Because immigration consequences were an important part of this case, Marisa was able to negotiate a plea that took into consideration that the event was a mutual altercation. C&N’s client pled to trespassing and received a delayed sentence, where the case was ultimately dismissed after six months. Now our client will continue having no criminal record.

Ignition Interlock Violation Won on Appeal

C&N’s client received an ignition interlock violation, which resulted in a revocation of his license. After the Secretary of State hearing officer upheld the revocation, Marisa appealed this ruling to the circuit court. Marisa’s petition and oral argument persuaded the court to rule in our client’s favor, granting the reinstatement of his license.

Juvenile Client Placed on Consent Calendar

C&N’s client was a high school student who was charged with domestic violence. Marisa was able to investigate the case, including speaking with the complainant, to determine what was best for the juvenile client’s rehabilitation. Marisa then advocated to the court on behalf of the client, arguing that he should be place 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 and continue working on himself with no criminal record.

Title IX Case Won

C&N’s client was a graduate student who was accused of criminal sexual conduct by a woman. Marisa vigorously challenged these claims at a hearing, and the resolution officer determined that our client was not responsible for violating university policy.

Expungement Granted

Years ago, C&N’s client received a felony conviction for criminal sexual conduct in the fourth degree. He reached out to C&N in hopes of setting aside this conviction. Marisa applied her knowledge of the intricacies and exceptions of the Clean Slate Act to this case. At the expungement hearing, Marisa showed that our client’s behavior warranted setting aside his conviction and this was consistent with the public welfare. The application was granted, and our client now lives without a criminal record.

Sixth Circuit Career Offender Victory

C&N’s client was sentenced in federal court as a career offender. Mary had challenged this designation at sentencing and appealed the court’s decision on career offender status to the Sixth Circuit. The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals agreed that C&N’s client had been improperly sentenced as a career offender, and he was resentenced without that serious designation.

Criminal Sexual Conduct – No Charges Issued

C&N’s client was a college student accused of criminal sexual conduct by a long-time friend. C&N promptly started contacting witnesses and gathering tangible evidence to establish the implausible nature of the potentially life altering claims. Takura quickly contacted the detective and remained in close contact with the client and his family. Armed with information that C&N had gathered, the prosecutor ultimately decided not to issue charges. Our client can continue his education without the prospect of false claims throwing him off course.

Criminal Sexual Conduct in the First Degree Dismissed

C&N’s client was charged with criminal sexual conduct in the first degree. If convicted, he faced a mandatory minimum sentence of 25 years in prison. Mary and Marisa worked tirelessly to investigate the claim. Ultimately, the case was resolved with a plea to a high court misdemeanor and no jail time.
