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.

Trespassing Case Dismissed

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.

Client Incompetent to Stand Trial—Murder and Felony Charge Dismissed

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.

Juvenile Client Placed on Consent Calendar

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.

Felony Child Abuse Charge Dismissed

C&N’s client was an engineer who was admitted to the United States on a specialty visa and consequently faced deportation when she was charged with a violent felony. Takura diligently prepared and submitted a compelling mitigation packet. Then he convinced the client and her child to seek extensive services. The packet and proof of completed services played a pivotal role in Takura securing a dismissal. Our client can continue to provide for her family and stay in the country that has afforded her so many opportunities.

Juvenile Case—Prison and Adult Charges Averted

C&N’s client was a juvenile who was accused of several violent offenses, some involving guns, which would have resulted in mandatory imprisonment for an adult. Takura persuaded the prosecutor not to waive the young man into adult court. Instead, our client got to stay home with his family and undergo counseling along with other services. He is making the most of the opportunity that Takura adeptly negotiated on his behalf.

Criminal Sexual Conduct—No Charges Issued and Medical License Saved

C&N’s client was a doctor who was facing potential sexual assault charges and the loss of his medical license. We were able to make certain that no charges were filed, and worked with the Licensing and Regulatory Affairs investigator to ensure that the investigation was quickly closed to avoid devastating consequences based on the false allegations.

Embezzlement, Fraud, and Theft Charges Dismissed

The federal government accused C&N’s client of conspiring with others to defraud an entity of millions of dollars. Before charges issued, an extensive investigation involving numerous federal agencies occurred. Takura pored over voluminous discovery meticulously and stressed the shortcomings in the government’s case. In the end, Takura convinced the government to dismiss all the charges against his client. The client has moved on with his life and never looked back.

Child Sexually Abusive Material—Treatment in Lieu of Prison

We obtained a very favorable plea resolution for a C&N client charged with the possession of child sexually abusive material. The client’s untreated addiction, mental health, and willingness to engage in treatment resulted in an outcome that kept the client out of prison.

Federal Tax Evasion—No Charges Issued

C&N’s client was investigated by the federal government for accusations of tax evasion. The Department of Treasury Criminal Division’s investigation into the client’s investments in cryptocurrency lasted for nearly a year. We thoroughly reviewed our client’s tax filings and investments, and aggressively pushed back on the government’s theory. We persuaded the federal government that our client had not engaged in any criminal activity. With great relief, C&N’s client no longer has to live with the threat of this baseless investigation and potential prosecution hanging over him.

Criminal Sexual Conduct—No Charges Issued

Mary represented a client who was accused by his 4-year-old granddaughter of sexually assaulting her with a massage gun. The claim was utterly implausible because it supposedly occurred in front of several other adults and children. Still, the granddaughter’s parents reported the accusation to the police. C&N engaged in an extensive investigation. Fortunately, the prosecutor reviewed all the evidence and information that C&N submitted and declined to issue any charges. Our client can now move on with his life without the threat of these false claims.
