Client with addiction issues facing life in prison gets probation with treatment
Our client faced addiction issues and wanted a resolution for their case that would help him and his family long term. But with such serious charges we needed to find all the mitigation evidence to convince the government to agree to treatment. By securing records and input from family we successfully convinced the government to dismiss all but the least serious charge, place our client in probation with drug treatment, and even dismiss the charge if they successfully completed the probation.
Charges: Burglary with a Battery; Criminal Mischief
Time Faced: Life in prison
Result: Most serious charge dismissed, probation with treatment on remaining charge
