Charge
Interference with an Emergency Call
Location
None County, CCC4
Allegations
After a domestic dispute, police accused our client of interfering with an emergency call. We reviewed the case file, compared the complainant’s initial account to later follow up, and noted the report came well after the alleged incident with no injuries or witnesses. We documented those inconsistencies along with the complainant’s limited cooperation and presented them to the prosecution. Faced with credibility and proof problems, the state agreed to reduce the case to a lesser, non violent property offense. The client received deferred adjudication probation on the reduced charge, keeping a conviction off the record.

Allegations
After arranging a meeting online, the client went to a hotel and was detained in a sting as he approached the door. The chats referenced a price, but the exchange was vague, and he refused to unlock his phone, leaving little corroboration beyond the decoy setup. We obtained discovery, dissected the messages, and challenged whether there was a clear, mutual agreement to exchange money for specific conduct. Leveraging those gaps and mitigation, we negotiated a charge reduction and secured deferred probation, avoiding a harsher conviction.

Charge
Civil Asset Forfeiture
Location
None County, DC407
Allegations
Following an arrest, police towed the client’s vehicle and refused to release it, leaving a wallet and work computer inside. We obtained the seizure paperwork and incident reports, then engaged both the seizing agency and the prosecutor. We pressed for access to personal property and challenged the basis for holding the vehicle. Leveraging those issues, we negotiated a reduction of the related criminal allegation. The court accepted the reduced charge and the forfeiture dispute resolved on terms far better than first proposed.
