Case Results

A European client living in the Bay Area on a work visa was accused of domestic violence following a heated argument with his spouse. Attorney Collin Moore investigated the case and obtained a declaration from the spouse confirming there was no violence and that police were called only to de-escalate the situation. After presenting this evidence to the District Attorney, prosecutors agreed not to file any charges, protecting the client’s criminal record and immigration status.

Two defendants were charged with federal mail fraud based on allegations that they participated in a large mortgage fraud scheme investigated by the FBI and IRS and prosecuted by multiple federal agencies. After a hard-fought jury trial in the Eastern District of California, where the government presented 26 witnesses and hundreds of exhibits, the jury acquitted both defendants on all counts in just over one day of deliberations. The verdict marked a rare loss for federal prosecutors and the first acquittal in more than 23 years on that judge’s bench.

A San Carlos physician was arrested after a family dispute and accused of attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon stemming from a shooting incident. Attorney Richard Weese secured the client’s release on bail and presented compelling pre-filing evidence to prosecutors, leading the District Attorney to decline filing charges within three weeks and dismiss the case entirely.
