On a weekend night out, our client drank too much and found himself in an altercation with a woman. She alleged that he had touched her inappropriately. Ultimately, he was charged with a misdemeanor sexual battery in violation of Penal Code section 243.4, an offense that would require the client to register as a sex offender if convicted. We were able to use video footage of the incident to show this was a terrible misunderstanding and mitigate the incident. Our client received diversion and community labor.

Firearm in airport
Gun Charges
Long Beach Courthouse, February 2020
Our client brought a firearm into the airport. He lawfully owned the firearm, and had a lawful permit to carry the weapon. However, permits to carry a firearm still do not permit bringing the weapon into an airport. He had forgotten he had the firearm in his computer bag and mistakenly brought the item with him to the airport. He had no criminal record of any kind, but was now facing misdemeanor criminal charges. We were able to get him pre-filing diversion with community labor

Our client was arrested and charged with being drunk in public in violation of Penal Code section 647(f), resisting a police officer in violation of Penal Code section 148, and battery on an officer in violation of Penal Code section 243(b). Using the discovery process, we acquired the body camera footage. Using the footage, we were able to show that our client never intended to assault the officers.

Once diversion is complete, the case is dismissed.
