Felony VC4463, Counterfeiting/False information related to his vehicle registration

Yolo

 

His bail was $10,000, and he was taken into custody. We arranged for his release from custody, and after much haggling in court, we convinced the d.a. and judge to dismiss the felony counterfeiting/false information charge. The d.a. then offered a misdemeanor false information charge, but we held strong, and eventually got the misdemeanor false information charge dismissed. The resulting plea was to a simple "no registration" infraction, with a fine of $220.

We filed a motion in Calaveras County to set aside his guilty plea, and the judge and d.a. were so impressed with our motion and the facts that they dismissed the case. We filed another motion in Sacramento County and after a contentious hearing with the d.a. the judge set aside our client's guilty plea. We then went to trial and convinced the judge to use his discretion and dismiss the case over the d.a.'s objection, and the judge dismissed the case. Our client can now get back to work supporting his family.

Client E.G.
Commercial driver got a speeding ticket in his person vehicle with his family for 77 in a 55. He was adamant he was not going that fast, and he was close to the DMV point limit so we contacted the officer to discuss a possible plea to a non-moving violation. The officer in this case rudely declined, so we went to trial.

At trial we exploited the fact that the officer missed one of the formal elements on the stand, and the judge agreed and entered a verdict of not guilty.

Our military client was charged in Placer County with misdemeanor reckless driving and had a clean misdemeanor record other than this charge. The DA was unwilling to reduce his charge to an infraction, so we set the matter for jury trial. At the conference just before calling the jurors, the attorneys described their theories of the case to the judge, and over the objection of the DA, the judge favored our theory and dismissed the reckless driving case against the client, and with his approval, found him guilty only of crossing the double yellow line, a one point DMV infraction. This prevented our client from getting a misdemeanor charge on his record. It also saved him onepoint on his DMV record, an insurance increase, and thousands in fines.

Our client was cited for failure to yield the right of way (21800 VC) after the other party ran a stop sign and hit our client's car. Our client not only was cited for a traffic violation but the insurance companies deemed her at fault based on the officer's report and refused to pay her damages. The client contacted our firm after talking to several other attorneys that wouldn't take her case. We set her case for trial in the traffic case and presented our evidence to the court. Before the judge could render a verdict the District Attorney dismissed the case in the interest of justice!

See below...

Client contacted us after seeing his face on Sacramento's most wanted list for assault with a deadly weapon.

After the DA offered our client a felony we stood by our client's claim that he did not assault the alleged victim and set the case for hearing. The hearing never took place...Case dismissed for insufficient evidence.
