Suppression Granted — DWI Dismissed

Attorneys Malachi Ledbetter and Stephanie Pimentel, with J.P. Cedillo assisting, secured dismissal of a DWI > .15 case after the Court granted the Defense’s motion to Suppress during trial. The result was especially important for our client, a DACA recipient, whose future in the United States could have been significantly affected by a criminal conviction.

Theft Case Dismissed on the Eve of Trial

Our client was accused of shoplifting, but the surveillance footage told a different story: he did not steal anything. Despite that evidence, the charge remained pending for months while our client lived under the weight of a criminal accusation. Only on the eve of trial, after prosecutors finally reviewed the case closely, was the charge dismissed. The dismissal allowed our client to clear his name—but only after months of unnecessary stress and uncertainty.

DWI Case Dismissed

Our client was charged with DWI after an accident despite a low BAC result and evidence that did not establish intoxication. She rejected a plea offer and held out for trial. When the defense announced ready on the day of trial, the State dismissed the case.
