RESULTS: Client Receives Pre-trial Diversions in Felony Evading Case and DWI
In this complex case, our law firm championed the rights of a foreign exchange student on the brink of deportation due to a minor traffic misjudgment on his part involving felony evading. Charged with evading arrest – a serious third-degree felony – alongside allegations of driving while intoxicated (DWI), our client faced severe consequences that could have led to deportation from the United States.
Key Details of the Case:
- Client: Foreign exchange student unfamiliar with American road etiquette.
- Charges: Evading arrest (third-degree felony) and DWI.
- Concern: Deportation due to severe charges.
Innovative and Strategic Legal Defense
Our innovative and strategic approach to legal defense shone brightly throughout this complex situation. Recognizing that cultural misunderstandings can exacerbate legal troubles, we crafted a robust defense strategy that integrated legal knowledge with cultural empathy.
Actions Taken:
- Dissected the Incident: Meticulously analyzed the incident to reveal key nuances.
- Focused on Informative Dialogue: Highlighted the student’s limited understanding of local laws and his otherwise impeccable conduct.
Our efforts underscored the impact of thoughtful, inventive legal representation in cases where cultural nuances play a significant role.
Successful Outcome and Lasting Impact
Mr. Blizzard worked diligently with the prosecutor’s office to obtain pre-trial diversion for both the DWI and the evading arrest felony.
This resulted in:
- 1 Year Probation: The client would complete a period of probation with the prosecutor’s office.
- Expunction Eligibility: Upon completion of the pre-trial diversion, the client would be eligible for an immediate expunction, removing the arrest and all records of the case from their criminal history.
This victory allowed our client to remain in the United States without facing deportation or denial of a visa or residency.
Impact
- Secured Client’s Freedom: Safeguarded their future opportunities for residency and work visas.
- Cultural Precedent: Highlighted the importance of cultural understanding in legal defense.
