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.

PPO Terminated

C&N’s client was accused by a woman of domestic violence, and she obtained a personal protection order. We filed a motion to terminate the PPO, and successfully convinced the court to terminate the PPO despite the woman’s accusations.

Juvenile Adjudication Expungement Granted

Our client contacted C&N to get two offenses expunged from his record. These offenses were years old and were adjudicated when he was a juvenile. 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.

Driver’s License Restoration Appeal Victory

C&N’s client had a hearing with the Secretary of State to get his restricted license restored, which was denied. Marisa appealed that decision in the circuit court. After drafting the petition and arguing at the hearing, Marisa convinced the court to reverse the Hearing Officer’s order and grant C&N’s client a restricted license. He can now drive again and plans to return to C&N in 2024 when he is eligible to apply for his full license.

Juvenile Client Placed on Consent Calendar

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.

Child Sexual Abusive Material – Prison Avoided

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.

Criminal Sexual Conduct—No Charges Issued

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.

Drug Charge Dismissed

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.

Federal career offender sentenced to less than half the sentencing guidelines

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.

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.

Expungement Granted

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.
