Felony Drug Possession Charges Reduced to Misdemeanor

Our client was facing serious felony drug possession charges that carried the risk of a lengthy prison sentence. The initial police report and prosecutor's stance were severe, leaving our client feeling desperate and without hope. With their future on the line, they sought out a firm with a reputation for both skilled defense and a client-first approach.

Shalley & Murray immediately took action. Our attorneys conducted a thorough investigation, scrutinizing the circumstances of the arrest and the chain of custody for the evidence. We meticulously prepared a defense strategy to challenge the prosecution’s case and leveraged our deep understanding of drug laws and court procedures. We entered into a series of direct, strategic negotiations with the district attorney's office, advocating for our client and presenting the weaknesses in the prosecution's case.

Through our relentless advocacy, we successfully convinced the prosecution to offer a plea deal that reduced the felony charges to a minor misdemeanor. This outcome allowed our client to avoid a felony conviction, a prison sentence, and a permanent criminal record. Our personalized approach and effective negotiation provided a path to a positive result, allowing our client to get back to their life with peace of mind.
