NAME CLEARED
A client approached the firm after discovering that a warrant for his arrest had been issued from Lucas County, Ohio, over twenty years ago. The warrant claimed that the client failed to appear for a jail sentence stemming from an Aggravated Possession of Drugs charge to which he pleaded guilty. The only problem: the client had never even been arrested in Lucas County, Ohio.
REDUCED
A client was charged in the Middleburg Heights Mayor’s Court with Resisting Arrest and Disorderly Conduct following an altercation at a local bar. Lucas Trott secured a reduction to disorderly conduct only, which resulted in a fine only and ensured that the client could have her record sealed at a future date.
REDUCED TO MISDEMEANOR
The Defendant was charged with Aggravated Possession of Drugs in Lake County after cocaine was located in her apartment by law enforcement. Lucas Trott negotiated a resolution in which the charge was reduced to an expungable misdemeanor and an indictment would not be sought. The Defendant received probation only.
DISMISSED
A client was charged in Cleveland Heights Municipal Court for possessing a firearm while allegedly intoxicated on his own property. Lucas Trott secured a dismissal and sealing of all charges following a six-month diversion program.
DISMISSED
A juvenile client was charged with multiple counts of Domestic Violence and Assault in Cuyahoga and Medina Counties. Lucas Trott secured a dismissal and sealing of all charges, conditioned only on the Defendant refraining from contact with the alleged victims for a period of six months.
Plea Agreement - Reduced Sentence
The client was indicted in federal court with receipt, distribution and transportation of child pornography s. If convicted, the defendant faced a possible sentence of 20 years. Even though the Government had a strong case, which included a confession by the client, Attorney Nemecek was able to negotiate a favorable plea agreement that significantly reduced the potential penalties that could be imposed. Based upon the arguments and mitigating evidence that Attorney Nemecek presented, the court granted a substantial downward variance from the recommended guideline range, resulting in a sentence that was less than half of what was recommended and/or requested by the Government.
