    Father was arrested and held on half-million dollar bail for allegedly kidnapping his own child. Defense counsel demonstrated legal impossibility under the circumstances and prosecutor agreed to dismiss outright.

    Client faced first-degree felony charges for selling drugs to undercover police officer. Mitigating evidence gathered by defense relating to client’s youth, family support, treatment options, and lack of prior history was pivotal in convincing prosecutor to allow an abeyance agreement to a single misdemeanor count.
