USA v. CJ

Charge

Multiple federal felony counts of Possession of Child Pornography

Result

A client with no criminal history, grappling with depression and alcohol abuse, found himself ensnared in a federal child pornography case after inadvertently venturing into the dark web. Upon discovery by Homeland Security and the FBI, facing a potential 14-year sentence, we advocated for a downward departure. The judge concurred, permitting the client to undergo the federal RDAP program, reducing the sentence by an additional 6 months. Based on our arguments and recommendations, the client served time in a minimum-security federal facility. This outcome reflected the importance of mitigation efforts in navigating a challenging legal situation.

State v. SDW

Charge

5 Counts of Felony Tax Evasion, 5 Counts of Failure to File Taxes, 5 Counts of Failure to Pay taxes

Result

Facing (5) tax evasion charges as well as other criminal tax charges, a medical professional risked losing their license and Medicare eligibility, crucial for their nursing home patient clientele. Over two years of negotiations, our defense team persuaded the government to dismiss all but a few minor misdemeanor counts. This strategic outcome not only preserved the client’s medical license without disciplinary actions but also maintained their ability to accept Medicare payments. The reduction in charges spared the client from serious jail time and allowed them to continue their medical practice without the devastating consequences of a felony conviction.

State v. JN

Charge

5 Counts of Class “A” Felony Aggravated Drug Trafficking, 1 Count of Class “B” Felony Drug Trafficking

Result

In a complex drug case, our client faced serious charges after law enforcement mistakenly searched his residence due to a warrant mix-up. The first court-appointed attorney advised a 15-year plea deal. Our team took on the case, realizing the detective’s significant error in identifying the correct search location. Our detailed investigation included on-site analysis, GPS photos, and criminal history searches. A meticulously prepared Motion to Suppress exposed the warrant’s flaws. The District Attorney, recognizing the weakened case, offered a dismissal in exchange for a plea to a lesser charge. The client, having spent months in jail, accepted the offer and walked free. This case underscores the importance of thorough preparation and determination in securing favorable outcomes.

Secretary of State v. PP

Charge

Ignition Interlock Device Violation and Suspension

Result

P.P., under a 3 year IID program after an OUI conviction, was alleged to have committed over two dozen violations involving his IID. The defense team meticulously gathered evidence, analyzing maintenance logs, interviewing witnesses, and arguing the case. Successfully explaining all but two violations as machine errors, the Hearings Examiner granted the client’s petition for reinstatement. With nearly 20 months left in the IID program, this victory spared the client from severe restrictions on travel, preventing potential business closures. This success is notable, possibly marking the first successful IID violation defense in southern Maine.

State v. JF

Charge

DV Assault, Criminal Threatening with a Deadly Weapon, Reckless Conduct with a Firearm

Result

A former US Special Forces member faced a tumultuous legal battle after a confrontation with his fiance turned violent. Accused of multiple felonies involving a firearm and domestic violence misdemeanors, the client faced a challenging situation. The defense team strategically gathered evidence, including plot surveys and extensive photographs, to challenge witness perceptions and create doubt. Despite an attractive plea offer, the client chose to go to trial, banking on a self-defense theory. After a 3-day trial and over 2 days of deliberation, the jury returned NOT GUILTY verdicts on all charges except one misdemeanor. Although it appeared to be a compromise verdict, the client found satisfaction in being acquitted of the most severe charges.

State v. CR

Charge

OUI Refusal

Result

A late-night traffic stop led to OUI charges for our client, who was seen leaving a bar. Despite the court upholding the stop, we focused on the deputy’s actions during the BMV hearing. Under cross-examination, the deputy admitted the client performed well on field sobriety tests but cited HGN and other test clues for probable cause. The refusal claim was debunked, as the client had requested a blood test. The BMV granted dismissal, deeming it not a true refusal. At trial, we emphasized fairness and innocence, highlighting the client’s willingness for a blood test. The jury, deliberating briefly, returned a swift NOT GUILTY verdict.

State v. RD

Charge

OUI .11%

Result

Client, facing OUI charges, revealed significant medical issues during a traffic stop. Despite being blind in one eye, recovering from double-knee surgery, having an inner ear disorder, and being on medications, the officer insisted on field sobriety tests. In a BMV hearing, we exposed the officer’s failure to exercise discretion in administering physical roadside tests. The BMV examiner granted a motion to dismiss for lack of probable cause. Subsequently, a Motion to Suppress was successful, and the judge promptly granted it, leading to the immediate dismissal of the OUI charge. The officer’s inflexible stance on testing proved crucial in dismantling the case.

State v. JR

Charge

OUI with Blood Test

Result

Our client faced OUI charges after being wrongly stopped for alleged high beam use. Despite a legitimate basis for the stop, we contested the case at every phase. In the BMV hearing, positive observations about sobriety and the officer’s admission of improperly administered HGN test led to rescinding the suspension. The DA refused negotiation, relying on a questionable .16% BAC result. During the trial, cross-examination revealed unreliable testing methods and errors in blood samples. The jury, swayed by lack of scientific rigor and officer’s observations of sobriety, returned a NOT GUILTY verdict, highlighting the case’s flawed evidence and methodology.

State v. CH

Charge

Gross Sexual Assault, Unlawful Sexual Contact, Unlawful Sexual Touching

Result

Facing severe charges of sexual assault, my client encountered false accusations from a family member dating back to his juvenile years. We took over the case shortly before trial, conducting a thorough investigation that included home photographs and interviews with witnesses. During the trial, critical mistakes in the prosecution’s presentation, such as the accuser’s motive for financial gain and failure to establish elements of the most serious charges, were exposed. A strategic motion for Judgment of Acquittal succeeded in a dismissal of the most severe charges. Despite a hung jury on remaining counts, the court dismissed four of the six original charges, leaving the client exonerated on all but the least serious charges. Ultimately, the relentless defense efforts resulted in a full dismissal of ALL six charges, preserving the client’s innocence and future.
