State v. Ms. R. (DMC No. 10838)

GRANTED | FINGERPRINT CARD APPLICATION GRANTED – State v. Ms. R. (DMC No. 10838) (Arizona Board of Fingerprinting Application IVP0351368): Ms. R was in Mexico visiting friends, when one of her friends asked her to take her sick baby back to the U.S. for treatment. Ms. R attempted to cross the border and was stopped and admitted the baby was not hers. Years later, Ms. R had been hired to become a school teacher and a “fingerprint card” was requested. She was originally denied her fingerprint card, and she hired our Firm. We assisted her with the application and explained to the Arizona Board of Fingerprinting that Ms. R was never charged and was not officially arrested. They agreed to give her her fingerprint card, and she is now a school teacher.

Later, we petitioned the court to reduce the 360 community service hours down to a mere 50 hours. We were successful.

State v. Mr. W (DMC No. 4437)

NOT CHARGED | MISCONDUCT with WEAPON/TAMPERING with PHYSICAL EVIDENCE/FAILURE to COMPLY with POLICE OFFICER NOT CHARGED – State v. Mr. W. (DMC No. 4437) (Tolleson Police Department DR04-0503028): Mr. W. was pulled over by police for allegedly not having a license plate light. In reality, the police were conducting surveillance on a known drug house and wanted to see if he purchased drugs. When they asked if they could search him, he said “no thank you”. He was then placed in handcuffs, taken to the ground and upon being searched a gun, knife and drugs were found. The officers alleged that he attempted to throw the knife and hide it before being placed under arrest. We were able to convince the Prosecutor to only charge the possession of drugs and allow Mr. W. to do a diversion dismissal class known as “TASC”. None of the other charges were brought, and he has no conviction on his record.

FELONY DEPOSITING EXPLOSIVES NOT CHARGED – State v. Mr. S (DMC No. 10236) (Chandler Police Department DR No. 11-05-2808): Mr. S was a 15 year old High School student who made a “works” bomb out of toilet bowl cleaner with tin foil and a plastic bottle. He and his friends threw it at another friend’s house and damaged their garage door when it exploded. The explosion caused $3500 of damage. The Chandler Police Department indicated that they were going to charge Mr. S with Depositing Explosives under Arizona Revised Statute ARS 13-3104A. We were able to intervene and negotiate a civil settlement with the people who owned the house. Because of this, we were able to convince the Detective and Prosecutors not to proceed forward with charges.

State v. Ms. R (DMC No. 8214)

STANDING WATER LIKELY to BREED MOSQUITOS DISMISSED at BENCH TRIAL – State v. Ms. R (DMC No. 8214) (Moon Valley Justice Court JC2007-157045): Ms. R lived in West Phoenix and had a pool that she did not use. Neighbors would hop the fence and jump in the pool, and it became an attractive nuisance. She subsequently drained the pool and it later accumulated debris inside. After several heavy rains, mosquitoes began to breed inside the pool and neighbors complained. Subsequently, a search warrant was executed and she was cited for Standing Water Likely to Breed Mosquitoes under Maricopa County Health Code Chapter 3, Regulation 2. Ms. R eventually had the pool filled in. The Maricopa County Attorney’s Office would not extend any offers, and the case was set to a Bench Trial. At the time of the Bench Trial, the Prosecutor decided to dismiss all charges against Ms. R.

State v. Mr. R. (DMC No. 5700)

FELONY BIGAMY (with MULTIPLE PRIOR FELONIES) REDUCED to PROBATION with 3 MONTHS in Jail – State v. Mr. R (DMC No. 5700) (Maricopa County Superior Court CR2002-098145): Mr. R was a 50 year old blind and bipolar man who had numerous prior felony convictions raging from 2nd Degree Murder to Fraud Schemes to cashing of Bad Checks. He had been married numerous times, and during one of those he did not secure a divorce when he lived in New Mexico. He then got married in Arizona while he was still married in New Mexico. While going through a separation with his Arizona wife, she discovered that he was still married in New Mexico, and he was subsequently indicted with Bigamy per Arizona Revised Statute ARS 13-3606.

Although the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office was asking for 2 years in prison, we were able to convince the Judge that his prior conviction for 2nd Degree Murder (against a prior wife) was not a basis for giving him prison in the present offense. We were able to show the Judge that this new charge was purely an error on Mr. R’s part in that his prior divorce consent decree had not actually been filed in New Mexico. The Judge agreed that he should not be sent back to prison, and he was only given probation with 3 months of Jail time.

Ms. V.  (DMC No. 8945) (U.S. District Court of Arizona 2:08-CR08-0598-PHX-JAT-8): Ms. V. was an escrow officer with a local title agency in Phoenix.  She submitted several preliminary HUD-1 forms and some final HUD-1 forms for a “straw buyer” who purchased 27 homes while she was the escrow agent.  Allegations were that there was a “cash back scheme” which resulted in her receiving fees of $40, 000 dollars.  Although there were multiple co-defendants, we were able to show that Ms. V. was an unwilling victim duped into assisting this scheme.  Ultimately, all charges were dismissed in full.

JUVENILE MINOR in POSSESSION of TOBACCO DISMISSED – State v. Ms. F (DMC No. 6834) (Maricopa County Juvenile Court No. JV542678): Mr. F was a 16 year old student at Dobson High School who was accused of smoking while entering campus grounds. The school Resource Officer (A Mesa Police Officer) made contact with her and began to question her. Ms. F stated that she did not want to answer questions until she spoke with her mom. She was never read her Juvenile Miranda Rights, and she was subsequently cited with Minor in Possession of Tobacco pursuant to Arizona Revised Statute ARS 4-244.9. We argued to the Prosecutor that the Officer violated Ms. F’s Juvenile Miranda Rights, and they agreed that they would dismiss all charges if she wrote an essay and completed 10 hours of community service. Ms. F and her parents agreed to the terms, and all charges were dismissed against her.

State v. Mr. G (DMC No. 9310)

Approximately 15 years prior to hiring us, Mr. G had plead guilty to Felony Attempted Child Molestation (a Class 3 Dangerous Crimes against Children) and he was placed on lifetime probation. Roughly 13 years after that, we were able to have his lifetime probation terminated. It was subsequently discovered that the DPS database kept showing that Mr. G. was on lifetime probation. Because of this, he was unable to get a normal driver’s license (which he was required to do yearly under his lifetime probationary term), and he was threatened to be arrested every time he was pulled over for a minor traffic offense. We were able to clear his record, and he no longer is burdened by the Justice System. He is also allowed to leave the country at will in order to go on vacations.
