Client was indicted for possession of a large quantity of cocaine recovered from a car he was driving that was stopped for a “traffic infraction”.  Client was ordered out of car and searched.  According to the police a quantity of cocaine was found on the defendant’s person.  Car was impounded and  subjected to a trained narcotics dog “sniff test”.  The test was positive and a search warrant issued.  A subsequent search revealed a large quantity of cocaine in a hidden trap.  I sent my investigator to the area of the car stop and we ascertained that there was a number of security cameras on the street.  We located the videos relating to stop and search and they revealed that the police version of the stop and search was false.  After filing an extensive motion to suppress and providing a copy of the videos in question, the Office of  the Special Narcotics Prosecutor moved to dismiss all charges and agreed to release my client’s vehicle and a large sum of United States Currency.

Client Found Not Guilty After Trial – Six Counts of Domestic Violence

My client was the son of a former South American Ambassador to the United Nations.  He was here on a work visa and applied for permanent resident status.  An ex-girlfriend filed charges initially accusing him of one count of assault.  She subsequently convinced the prosecution to add two additional counts against my client. A plea of guilty or a conviction would have resulted in his removal from the United States.  After an extensive investigation witnesses to the alleged assaults were located and agreed to testify.  Further investigation revealed that the complaining witness had “stalked” a prior boyfriend and had an arrest record for assault in another jurisdiction.  After a week long trial, the jury returned a Not Guilty verdict on all counts.
