The Challenge
Our client faced federal charges of bank fraud involving sophisticated card skimming devices — advanced tools that steal bank information from the magstripe or microchip on credit and debit cards, often using hidden cameras on ATMs to capture customers’ PINs.
Our Strategy
We mounted a vigorous defense in federal court, presenting mitigating factors and negotiating with federal prosecutors to minimize our client’s exposure. Our advocacy at sentencing focused on our client’s personal circumstances, resulting in a significantly reduced sentence.

Your Case Belongs at the Southwest Justice Center.
Your Defense Belongs Here.
If you were arrested in Temecula, Murrieta, Menifee, Wildomar, Lake Elsinore, Winchester, or French Valley, your future will likely be decided at the Southwest Justice Center (SWJC) on Auld Road. In these courtrooms, local knowledge is the ultimate advantage. Since 1999, Nic Cocis has been a weekly fixture in the SWJC, appearing before the same judges and negotiating with the same Riverside County prosecutors for over 25 years. We don’t just know the law — we know the specific nuances, procedural quirks, and judicial tendencies of the Southwest District. Whether you are facing a felony or a misdemeanor, you need a firm that treats the Southwest Justice Center as its home turf.
