Hung Jury, Charge Reduced
After jury hung 7-5 in favor of “not guilty” of a DUI, we resolved the case for a non-driving offense with no jail time and no penalties on client’s license.
Case Results
Sentence Reversed
Client was facing a probation violation and we argued it was too late to punish him because his probation had already expired. The trial judge rejected our argument and sentenced our client. The appellate court agreed that the client’s probation term had already expired and reversed the judgment and sentence.
Probation Condition Removed
Appellate court agreed to strike our client’s unlawful condition of probation.
Gang Enhancement Reversed
Client was convicted of a firearm offense with a gang enhancement. The appellate court agreed with our argument that the prosecution failed to present enough evidence on the gang enhancement and reversed the enhancement.
Weapon Enhancement Reversed
Client was convicted of robbery with a weapon enhancement for using a machete. The appellate court agreed with our argument that the trial judge failed to give proper jury instructions and reversed the weapon enhancement.
Remand for New Hearing

After winning in the Court of Appeal, the trial court granted diversion for our client facing four counts of felony assault with a firearm.

In an appeal from a jury trial, we argued that the prosecution had failed to present enough evidence for a conviction. The State agreed with us and conceded that the conviction should be reversed, and the court reversed the conviction.
Reversal on Appeal
Obtained reversal of trial court’s unlawful order forcing our client to testify and refusing to let our client assert his constitutional right to remain silent.
