Assault Charge and Felony Probation Violation Dismissed

Our client had a contentious relationship with his ex-wife, with whom he shared several children.  After calling the police on his ex-wife for trying to break into his house, the police arrested him after she falsely claimed that he had attacked her.  Our client was charged with Assault in the Fourth Degree-Domestic Violence, which also violated his preexisting probation. 

Our attorneys attacked the credibility of the lying ex and provided the prosecution with strong arguments for dismissal supported by witness statements and video.  Mayer Law was able to get our client’s Assault charge completely dismissed.  Despite the allegation itself violating our client’s probation, we were also successfully able to convince the Judge and Felony Prosecutors to dismiss our client’s probation violation as well. 

DUI Charge Dropped

Our client was driving home after a long day of work and was pulled over for continuously swerving his vehicle.   Multiple police interrogated our client outside his vehicle late at night about being intoxicated because of his confusion, poor driving and red eyes.   The police searched his vehicle and failed to find evidence of any intoxication.  Despite the lack of evidence, our client was charged with DUI.

After thoroughly reviewing all the evidence, the attorneys at Mayer Law were able to prove that almost all of the police officers doubted that our client was intoxicated.  Based on the conflicting beliefs of the officers on scene, Mayer Law approached the prosecutor with a detailed breakdown of this “reasonable doubt” and the DUI charge was dropped. 

Felony Assault Charge Amended to Disorderly Conduct

Our client was at his place of work when he and his coworker got into a verbal altercation.  This verbal altercation and multiple threats led to our client holding a knife to the coworker’s neck.  The coworker cut himself by pushing back and later gutted our client.  Police were called and despite our client having the life-threatening injuries, both men were charged with Assault 2nd degree.

Mayer Law hit the ground running and immediately moved forward with a legal theory that placed our client as the true victim of the physical altercation.  The case was set for trial and the Mayer Law prepared to argue that our client had acted in self-defense.   Our attorneys were able to explore the criminal history and intent of the coworker and convinced the prosecutor decided to drop the assault charge and allow our client to plead to a misdemeanor of Disorderly Conduct for his role in the altercation. 

Alleged Kidnapper Goes from Facing 50 Years in Prison to 3 Years

Our client was indicted on 9 different charges ranging from Driving Under the Influence to felony kidnapping for an incident involving his girlfriend.  The client was arrested after holding his girlfriend hostage using a gun and then leading the police on a car chase.  In total, the client was facing up to 50 years in prison even though he had never been convicted of a felony prior.

Mayer Law knew that the client was in a lot of trouble, but that his behavior was completely altered by controlled substances due to his ongoing addiction.  After watching nearly 30 different videos and going over statements, we were able to convince the prosecutor that although Fleeing/Evading police part of the case was strong, our client was deserving of the mercy.  In the end, Mayer Law was able to convince the prosecution to reduce the kidnapping charges and allow our client to plead to smaller charges and seek treatment.  Instead of the 50 years our client initially faced, he ended up only being sentenced to 3 years.

Client Accused of Sex Crime Gets his Case Dismissed

Our client was charged with a sex crime for an incident involving an ex’s young child.  The ex came moved forward with these allegations as soon as our client reached milestones in a new relationship.  These allegations could ruin our client’s life as he would lose his job, face incarceration, and be stigmatized. 

Mayer Law knew that it would be an uphill battle to get the case thrown out, but we were confident that the allegations would not be fully supported by the evidence in the case.  Our attorneys did a thorough review of the evidence and decided we would fight the matter at trial.  Ultimately, based on our willingness to fight, the prosecution dropped the charges and our client was able to remove them from his record.
