Case Results

An office manager was accused of grand theft and embezzlement of approximately $55,000 from her employer. A subsequent background investigation revealed that the office manager was previously involved in a $3-million real estate scam for which she was convicted and sentenced to 10 years in prison. We successfully negotiated a resolution that resulted in probation and house arrest for the office manager’s new case.

We successfully prevented criminal charges from being filed in a case where a firefighter was arrested for alleged child endangerment and molestation. By presenting compelling evidence and case details to the District Attorney’s Office, we convinced prosecutors not to pursue charges against our client.

An informant tipped off law enforcement about a truck transporting cocaine from San Diego to Los Angeles. Officers tracked the vehicle to a ride-share parking lot, where they discovered approximately 244 kilograms (540 lbs.) of cocaine—worth an estimated $24 million. Our client, along with three others, was arrested at the scene. Despite the serious charges, we fought aggressively to protect our client’s rights and secured the best possible outcome.

Law enforcement alleged that our client disabled the bank’s alarm systems, cut through reinforced concrete, and accessed cash from the vault and safe deposit boxes. Reports also linked our client to a burglary ring that allegedly stole up to $10 million in cash and jewelry from jewelry stores. Despite these serious allegations, our client received a sentence of just 3 years and 1 month in federal prison—avoiding a potential 25-year sentence.
