In March, our firm helped secure fantastic results for three clients in three different areas of California law. The first involved an allegation of elder or dependent abuse. These cases can be very difficult to defend, as sympathies often lie with the alleged victim, who is seen as helpless. Our client was a psychiatric technician at a state mental hospital who was charged with physically abusing a patient. We thoroughly investigated the case prior to trial, and engaged in exhaustive pretrial discovery to gather information from the prosecutor. This included filing multiple motions to gather additional evidence. We ultimately took the case to trial, where we aggressively cross-examined the prosecution’s witnesses. The jury found our client not guilty on all charges.
A second client was charged with multiple counts of animal cruelty for allegedly abusing a horse. As with elder abuse cases, animal cruelty cases can be particularly difficult to defend, as most people have very strong feelings about protecting animals. This was especially true in this case, as it was set for trial in an area with many horse and farm animal owners. We were able to negotiate an attractive plea deal to resolve the case, but our client wanted to take the case to trial. Our team carefully analyzed the police reports as well as the photographs of the alleged abuse, and utilized them to conduct a devastating cross-examination of the key animal control officers. After a challenging two week trial, the jury returned a verdict of not guilty on all charges.
A third client was charged with 18 felony counts of fraud, identity theft and fraud; combined, these charges were punishable by more than 14 years of jail time. We took this case over from another law firm. Our team started by investigating the signatures on the various checks, and conducting a conditional examination of the alleged victim. At trial, we were able to successfully cross examine and impeach the alleged victim, showing that she had very little credibility — and that she had actually lied about critical parts of her testimony. As a result of this work, we were able to secure a very favorable plea deal for our client, who plead guilty to one misdemeanor offense and served no jail time. All felony charges were dropped in this case.
While the Chambers Law Firm cannot guarantee a result and past results do not predict future outcomes, these cases illustrate how our hard work, dedication and skill can lead to favorable results. We aggressively advocate for each and every one of our clients, working tirelessly to secure the best possible outcome.
