Felony Charges Dismissed Before Trial
Our client was facing multiple felony charges related to alleged possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute. The stakes were high — a conviction would have resulted in a lengthy prison sentence, permanent criminal record, and loss of employment.
Thanks to early intervention, strategic negotiation, and in-depth case analysis, the Legario legal team successfully had all charges dismissed before the case ever went to trial.
Legal Challenges
- The prosecution had strong intent-based charges backed by surveillance reports and witness testimony.
- Police claimed to find substances in the client's vehicle, but search and seizure procedures were questionable.
- Client had no prior criminal history but was at risk of career and life disruption.
Client Background
- Client: Confidential
- Age: Mid-30s
- Occupation: Logistics Manager
- Legal Issue: Felony Drug Possession & Distribution Charges
- Location: New York County
Our Strategy
- Conducted a full forensic review of the arrest report and challenged the legality of the search.
- Filed a motion to suppress evidence, citing unlawful stop and search protocol violations.
- Negotiated directly with the District Attorney’s Office to review the chain of custody and inconsistencies.
- Presented character references, employment history, and evidence of no criminal intent.
Our Strategy
John D. Williams, Lead Criminal Defense Attorney
“This case was a reminder that aggressive charges don’t always mean a guilty outcome. With the right legal team, knowledge of procedure, and a strong defense strategy — justice can prevail before a trial even begins.”
