Criminal Sexual Conduct—Charges Dismissed by Prosecutor

C&N’s client was charged with 13 counts of criminal sexual conduct involving two children. The investigation was complex and lengthy, but C&N discovered the wrongful motives behind the claims. Our client eventually entered a plea to one count of attempted child abuse. The plea offer came with no term of incarceration and no registry requirements. The client was facing mandatory prison sentences of at least 25 years for each count and a lifetime on the sex offender registry.

Assault and Battery—No Charges Issued

Marisa’s minor client was being investigated by the police after an altercation with his father. After a thorough investigation, Marisa made the extremely rare decision to have her client talk to the police about the incident—with Marisa present—because there was convincing evidence that he was abused at the hands of his father. The law enforcement agency recommended to the prosecutor that no charges should be issued, and the prosecutor agreed.

Criminal Sexual Conduct—Youthful Offender Plea Negotiated

C&N’s client was accused of multiple counts of criminal sexual conduct, including criminal sexual conduct in the first degree, that allegedly occurred at a college party. After significant investigation and motions being filed, C&N negotiated a plea to one count of seduction under the Homes Youthful Trainee Act.

Child Abuse—Not Guilty Verdict

C&N’s client was accused by her ex-boyfriend’s son of biting him on the leg, after his mother discovered a large circular bruise. Takura, Marisa, and Nicole led the trial team that challenged the charge of felony child abuse. Before trial, numerous experiments were done with various objects to determine what could cause this type of bruise. There was also a thorough investigation done to disprove these false allegations. The jury agreed with the defense and returned a verdict of not guilty!

Expungements Granted

Our client contacted C&N to get two offenses expunged from his record. These offenses were years old and prohibiting him from securing various job opportunities. Marisa worked on this expungement case and argued that our client deserved the privilege of having these convictions set aside. The court agreed with C&N, granting the motion to set aside our client’s convictions. He can now move on with his life free from having a criminal record and has since found a lucrative job position.

Operating While Under the Influence of Drugs—Charge Dismissed

A juvenile was charged with operating under the influence of drugs for allegedly smoking marijuana before driving. After much negotiation with the government due to faulty blood test results, Marisa was able to secure a plea deal to dismiss the OUID charge and have our client accept responsibility to a civil infraction. Upon paying the $100 fine, he was able to continue driving and focus on his college classes without having any criminal record.

Criminal Sexual Conduct—Charge Dismissed

A teenager was accused of criminal sexual conduct, but C&N’s investigation revealed that the complainant only made this claim to get out of trouble. After compiling significant evidence during our investigation, the prosecutor dismissed the charges. Now our client can move on without the stress of dealing with this life-altering false claim.

Domestic Violence—Charge Dismissed

C&N’s client was charged with domestic violence, despite being the victim of abuse during the alleged incident. After Marisa had multiple conversations with the prosecutor, the case was ultimately dismissed.

Juvenile Case—Charge Dismissed

C&N’s client was a juvenile and was charged with a misdemeanor. Marisa was able to obtain a resolution where the client was placed on the consent calendar. At the end of a short probation period, the case will be dismissed, and the client will continue having no record. The client can now move on with her life, finish high school, and achieve all the goals she has set for herself.

Expungement Granted

C&N’s client, a veteran, had a felony conviction on his record from over 40 years ago, which he wanted expunged. Marisa was able to highlight the great things that he has done in that time and successfully argued to have the conviction set aside. He is now able to live the rest of his life without a felony conviction on his record and continue giving back to his community, as he has for the majority of his life.
