Aggressive Lawyering Results in Dismissal of Case on the Eve of Trial
My client was charged with an act of violence which was purely defensible. I had met with my client several months ago and he explained what had transpired. Law enforcement was called to the scene and based on incorrect information from eyewitnesses who didn’t have a proper vantage point, our client was arrested. Nevertheless, we met with our client, learned his side of the story and appeared in court on his behalf. We did not waive any time for trial and demanded a jury trial. On Friday, June 1, 2012, 2 days before trial, we announced ready for trial. Finally, the District Attorney reviewed their file and realized we were right. Case dismissed.
