Case Dismissed

Agg Sex Assault (Minor) - May 2026

Cedillo Law Firm secured the dismissal of an extremely serious abuse accusation after our client spent nearly a year in jail awaiting trial while maintaining his innocence. After attorneys Stephanie Pimentel and J.P. Cedillo presented and emphasized critical defense evidence, the prosecution reviewed the case and agreed to dismiss the charge. While our client now faces the difficult task of rebuilding his life, his reputation, and his family relationships, this dismissal spared him from the devastating risk of prison for an accusation he always knew was wrong.

Writ Approved

Poss. of MJ - Jan 2026

We won a writ of Habeas Corpus in state court after showing that our client was never properly advised about the immigration consequences of his marijuana case. The judge agreed, erased the conviction, and allowed the case to start over with all of our client’s rights fully protected.
