Stay of Adjudication Pursuant to Veterans Restorative Justice Act
FB, a veteran of the United States Marine Corp, was charged with second degree assault with a dangerous weapon, a felony that carries a three-year mandatory minimum sentence. FB wielded a knife during a fight with multiple men outside a bar. Upon review of the video evidence of the incident, the Firm asserted Rule 9 affirmative defenses of self-defense and defense of others on behalf of FB.
Though FB had a valid self-defense claim, he did not want to subject himself or his family to the unnecessary risk of trial. The Firm helped FB gather his military service records and brought a motion for a stay of adjudication pursuant to the Veterans Restorative Justice Act. Despite the prosecution's objection, the motion prevailed, and FB received a stay of adjudication. This allowed him to avoid the mandatory prison time and any record of conviction.

In one of those cases, the State withheld key evidence, a Brady violation, which we uncovered on the eve of trial, resulting in a delay in that trial, a significant amount of additional litigation, and a subsequent scathing opinion from the judge.

What is a plea bargain?
A plea bargain is an agreement between you and the prosecutor where you plead guilty to a lesser charge in exchange for a reduced sentence or dropping other charges. It can be a strategic decision to avoid trial, but it's important to discuss the implications with your attorney before agreeing.
What types of cases do you handle?
We handle a wide range of criminal cases, including DUI, drug offenses, assault, theft, white-collar crimes, and more. Our team has experience in both misdemeanor and felony cases, providing tailored defense strategies for each unique situation.
When should I contact a defense attorney?
Contact a defense attorney as soon as you are aware of an investigation or charges against you. The earlier an attorney is involved, the better they can prepare your defense. Early involvement also helps protect your rights during investigations and hearings.
