## Notable Case Results
### White Collar Crime – Reduced Plea, No Prison Time
The Incident:
A client faced extensive white collar financial crime charges in Queens County involving significant financial evidence.
The Challenge:
Prosecutors held substantial financial discovery that had to be reviewed and countered before any resolution could be reached.
How We Helped:
Defense counsel reviewed the extensive financial discovery and negotiated directly with Queens County prosecutors to structure a plea agreement that coordinated the return of funds.
The Outcome:
The client pleaded guilty to a reduced D felony and was sentenced to 120 days in jail, avoiding lengthy imprisonment and asset forfeiture.
### Rape in the First Degree – Dismissed on Speedy Trial Grounds
The Incident:
A client was charged with Rape in the First Degree, a serious felony sex offense that had proceeded to a grand jury.
The Challenge:
The case involved a serious felony sex offense with grand jury involvement and significant delay in the prosecution’s timeline.
How We Helped:
Defense counsel secured the client’s release on bail, gathered evidence of a prior consensual relationship, and continuously pressured the Queens County prosecution regarding grand jury delays.
The Outcome:
The case was dismissed on speedy trial grounds.
### Grand Larceny – Dismissed Before Indictment
The Incident:
A client was charged with felony Grand Larceny.
The Challenge:
The defense needed to prevent the case from reaching a grand jury indictment within the statutory timeframe.
How We Helped:
Defense counsel secured the client’s release without bail at arraignment and leveraged the fact that the complainant had recovered the property and did not wish to proceed.
The Outcome:
The felony case was completely dismissed after the prosecution failed to obtain a grand jury indictment.
### Domestic Violence Strangulation Investigation – Prosecution Declined
The Incident:
A client was under investigation for a domestic violence strangulation allegation in the Bronx.
The Challenge:
The matter carried the risk of serious charges before any formal prosecution had been filed.
How We Helped:
Defense counsel coordinated a controlled surrender with Bronx County law enforcement and engaged early with the complainant to secure an affidavit of non-prosecution.
The Outcome:
The District Attorney declined to prosecute the case entirely.
### Multiple Felony Drug Charges – Reduced to Non-Criminal Disposition
The Incident:
A client faced multiple felony drug possession and sale charges in Nassau County.
The Challenge:
The prosecution’s evidence included alleged drug sales transactions that had to be challenged.
How We Helped:
Defense counsel reviewed discovery, challenged the prosecution’s evidence regarding the drug sales allegations, and negotiated extensively for a treatment-based resolution.
The Outcome:
All felony possession and sale charges were reduced to disorderly conduct with a community service requirement, resulting in no criminal conviction.
