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.
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.
C&N’s client was accused of soliciting a minor and sending sexually explicit material online. Mary and Takura exposed questionable investigative practices and presented a great deal of mitigating information. Consequently, the matter was resolved short of trial and our client was not sent to prison. Instead, he can focus on his mental health and obtain the treatment he has long sought.
C&N’s client was accused of criminal sexual conduct by a woman he had a relationship with for a brief period of time. C&N’s investigation showed that the claim was false. Through C&N's thorough and tenacious advocacy, our client will not have to face life-changing criminal sexual conduct charges.
C&N’s client was accused of a drug crime. We were able to gather evidence to prove that the charge was false—another person used our client’s name. The charge was quickly dismissed, and our client’s record has now been cleared.
C&N’s client was classified as a federal career offender. He had committed federal offenses while on supervised release, which made the situation even more challenging. Mary was able to present significant mitigation evidence at sentencing for the court to vary downward to far less than half of what the client was originally facing.
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.
Years ago, C&N’s client received a misdemeanor conviction while he was a student in college after recently moving to the United States. He reached out to C&N in hopes of setting aside this conviction. 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.
C&N’s client was charged with trespassing. Following a thorough review of the discovery, Marisa wrote two motions to dismiss because the trespassing ordinance was vague and unconstitutional, and there was not enough evidence to support the charge. After reading the motions, the government dismissed the case against our client.
C&N’s client was charged with open murder and mutilation of a dead body. A significant issue was whether the client was competent to stand trial because of his serious mental health issues. At the contested competency hearing, we convinced the court that our client was indeed incompetent to stand trial and that he was unlikely to attain competence. As a result of our advocacy, the charges were dismissed. Our client is now receiving the full mental health care and treatment he needs in a psychiatric facility, and our client’s family can finally know that their son is being properly cared for.
C&N’s client was a high school student who was involved in an altercation on the school bus after a sporting event and charged with a misdemeanor. Marisa worked with the juvenile court officer in getting this case put on the consent calendar after agreement by the prosecutor. For juvenile cases, the consent calendar is an alternative to the formal court process that allows the juvenile to complete the agreed upon probation terms and ultimately have the case dismissed. With Marisa guiding him along the way and securing a one-month term of probation, C&N’s client can now complete high school with no criminal record and go on to college as if charges were never issued.
