Marisa, Kim, and Mary led the C&N team to victory in the Court of Appeals. The issue was an important one. The court held that the Constitution requires that juveniles be told of their appellate rights and that indigent juveniles be assigned an attorney. C&N was thrilled to fight for the right to counsel for all juveniles in the state.
Marisa represented a college student who was charged with two misdemeanors for showing a fake ID to a liquor establishment and a police officer. During negotiations, Marisa was able to secure a plea deal to dismiss the misdemeanor charges and instead accept responsibility for civil infractions. This way her client will continue having no criminal record.
C&N’s client faced a minimum sentence of 30 years in prison because of the amount of drugs that federal authorities found in his home. However, Takura presented extensive mitigation evidence and conducted thorough research on the relevant statutes and case law. Ultimately, the client will serve less than a decade in prison because of Takura’s diligence, attention to detail, and effective advocacy.
C&N’s client was accused of criminal sexual conduct by a woman after he ended their relationship. Mary vigorously challenged these claims, and the university ultimately dismissed the Title IX claim against our client.
C&N’s client was accused by a woman of sexual assault, and she obtained a personal protection order. Mary led the team to terminate the PPO, and they successfully convinced the court to terminate the PPO despite the woman’s accusations.
C&N’s client found out that he had a criminal charge pending from years prior that he did not know about. We were able to get the charge dismissed, and our client is able to move forward with his life with no conviction.
C&N’s client was one of over a dozen people who the federal government accused of participating in an international drug conspiracy. The majority ultimately entered guilty pleas. Despite the years-long investigation, Takura and Lizzy led the trial team and were able to establish sufficient reasonable doubt at trial to prevent a clean sweep by the government. The jury returned a two-word verdict in favor of C&N’s client following a lengthy trial that involved multiple federal, state, and local agencies.
C&N’s client was charged in a high-profile case for lying to a police officer about a conversation that had supposedly occurred decades before. Mary, Takura, Lizzy, Kim, and the entire C&N team poured over hundreds of thousands of reports, and they investigated and interviewed dozens of witnesses. C&N argued that—based on the undisputed facts—the government could not meet the elements of the offense. The Court of Appeals agreed, and the client’s convictions were finally reversed. She can now live her life free of these allegations.
C&N’s client was charged with retail fraud years ago, but the client did not find out about the charge until years later when applying for a job. Because of her lack of criminal history and familial circumstances, Marisa suggested to the prosecutor that her client be given an opportunity to complete the diversion program. Through the diversion program, the charge was dismissed and will never be reissued because C&N’s client successfully completed the terms of diversion. Her client is extremely grateful because her future career options are not limited by a poor choice from years prior.
Following adoption of the new Clean Slate Act, a young adult wanted his marijuana conviction expunged. Marisa drafted and submitted the application to set aside the conviction with the court, and his conviction was set aside without a hearing. He now lives his life without any criminal conviction on his record.
