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.

Diversion Program Granted

Marisa represented a client who was pulled over by the police, and a firearm was found during the traffic stop. She did not have her Concealed Pistol License (CPL). Because she reached out to C&N so quickly after being pulled over, Marisa began proactively working on the case. She advised her client to sign up for the CPL class and apply for a license. Due to all this work done on the front end, Marisa was able to get the prosecutor to agree to put her client in the county’s diversion program. Once the client completed all the diversion requirements—most having already been completed at the suggestion of Marisa—she was never charged with carrying a concealed weapon, which is a five-year felony. She now can apply for graduate school without any criminal record as she planned to do before her interaction with the police.

Criminal Sexual Abusive Material – No Charges Issued

Takura represented a young man who was accused by a former friend of creating and sharing sexually explicit material. Fortunately, the family contacted C&N at the very earliest stage possible, and the team at C&N conducted a thorough investigation. Ultimately, the prosecutor declined to issue charges following careful consideration and review of the results of C&N’s proactive efforts. Our client can continue to enjoy his life without baseless claims looming over him.

Criminal Sexual Conduct—Not Guilty Verdicts Across the Board

C&N’s client was charged with three counts of criminal sexual conduct. Our client indicated that he was ending his relationship with the woman, and she then claimed that he raped her. Mary, Marisa, Lizzy, and the entire C&N team poured over the details of her claim, thoroughly investigated the case, and prepared for trial. After fighting for C&N’s client at trial, the jury came back with not guilty verdicts across the board!

Court of Appeals Victory

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.

Misdemeanor Cases Dismissed for Civil Infractions

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.

Life Sentence Avoided

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.

Title IX Dismissal

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.

PPO Terminated

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.

Criminal Charge Dismissed

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.

Possession with Intent to Distribute – Not Guilty Verdict

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.
