Case Study
Background
Our client faced serious charges following a traffic stop that revealed drug paraphernalia in his vehicle. The initial charges included a misdemeanor for drug paraphernalia possession and a careless driving citation. The severity of these charges posed significant risks, including potential impacts on employment, housing, and other aspects of the client’s life due to a criminal record.
Legal Strategy and Resolution
Rosenblum Law approached the case with a clear objective: to minimize the legal repercussions for our client. Understanding the importance of keeping the client’s record clean, our legal team negotiated vigorously with the prosecutor. We emphasized the client’s clean history and the minor nature of the offense.
Through strategic negotiation, we successfully had the criminal charge reduced to a local ordinance violation. This outcome transformed a potentially life-altering criminal record into a minor civil penalty, with no criminal record. This result not only avoided the harsher penalties associated with a misdemeanor but also protected the client’s record from long-term consequences.
Conclusion
This case highlights Rosenblum Law’s dedication to achieving the best possible outcomes for our clients. By reducing the charge to a local ordinance, we effectively safeguarded our client’s future opportunities.
