The client was arrested for felony grand theft and told they may face additional charges. The client confessed to conduct fitting a grand theft charge. The client bailed out and was awaiting the court date set for the arraignment.

I was hired by a client’s family to represent a client on one case involving residential burglary. The client had a recent prior strike for the same charge and the family had been informed that the offer was 17 years. After I took over the case, the family learned that he also had an open case for robbery. Both of those offenses are strike offenses in California and he already had one strike from within the last two years. I was able to negotiate an offer that involved pleading to zero strikes and reduced his custody time from 17 years to only two more years of custody time.
Two clients were facing charges for an issue with a former employer. The employer was seeking felony charges against them and damages in the tens of thousands of dollars.
