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.
Marisa represented a client who was charged with operating while intoxicated with a high blood alcohol content. During negotiation, Marisa was able to secure a plea deal to a lesser offense with a sentence agreement to no upfront jail despite that her client had been involved in an accident that resulted in property damage. Because of Marisa’s proactive work to place her client in educational classes and her in depth sentencing memorandum outlining the positive attributes of her client, she was able to successfully advocate at sentencing that her client should not have to do probation. Instead, he was sentenced to fines and costs. Her client is also taking his second chance seriously and is engaging in services to ensure that this never happens again.
C&N represented a “juvenile lifer” who was sentenced to life in prison when he was a teenager. C&N successfully argued for a “team of years” sentence because of all the positive changes our client had achieved while in prison. After spending over 40 years in prison, our client was released and is now telling his story to other young people to try and change their lives for the better and steer them away from committing crimes.
C&N’s client was accused of criminal sexual conduct by a woman after her husband caught our client and the woman engaged in sexual relations. She claimed that she was being raped rather than admit to their affair. C&N investigated and was able to obtain records from social media applications that proved that the woman had been having an affair with the client for months, along with other evidence proving the affair. The prosecutor declined to issue sexual assault charges, and our client is now able to live his life free from these allegations.
Our client was accused by a government officer he worked with of stalking and harassment. C&N engaged in an extensive investigation and was part of a team who successfully challenged the PPO after a hotly contested PPO hearing. The court issued a written opinion vindicating our client of the false claims.
Three dogs were put on “dog death row” after they were wrongfully convicted of being dangerous dogs. Two of the dogs were “therapy dogs” for an Iraq war veteran. C&N was part of the team that successfully challenged these convictions and saved the lives of these beautiful dogs.
A woman was accused of a crime by a family member who produced text messages about the supposed offense. C&N’s investigation, including a forensic investigation, revealed that these text messages were not found on our client’s phone—they were fabricated by the complainant because of an ongoing family argument. C&N’s investigation convinced the prosecutor not to issue charges, and our client can continue her life without having to fight these claims in court.
A teenager was accused of rape by another teenager he knew. C&N conducted a thorough investigation into the sexual assault claims, including obtaining details about the party where the alleged rape occurred. The investigation revealed that other partygoers refuted the young woman’s claims, and her true motive was revealed. The prosecutor declined to issue charges, and the young man is able to continue high school without battling these allegations.
A teenager was accused of sexual assault by a young woman he had known since childhood. The C&N team investigated the details of her claim and presented evidence to the prosecutor to refute the young woman’s claim. The prosecutor agreed, and no charges were issued.
C&N’s client was charged with felony fleeing and eluding in the fourth degree. Marisa’s careful review of the discovery revealed that the police violated our client’s constitutional rights by carrying out an invalid traffic stop. She wrote a motion to suppress the stop, and Takura conducted the evidentiary hearing. After skillfully cross-examining both police officers present at the stop, Takura argued that the government did not meet its burden. The court ruled in favor of the defense, finding that the stop was invalid. Through C&N’s team approach, the motion to suppress was granted, and the case was dismissed. C&N’s client can now continue working and will not face a year suspension of his license, in addition to a felony conviction.
C&N’s client had two felony convictions from seven years ago. When he reached out to C&N wanting an expungement for these convictions, Marisa compiled the necessary information to show that the client was rehabilitated. She convinced the judge that he was a productive member of society and was successful in her motion to set aside these convictions. The client is excited to live his life free of felony convictions and especially excited to now be able to serve on a jury.
