Client was a long-term legal resident but she had a history that the new administration wanted to punish her for. This thirty year old conviction came back to haunt her, but we dusted off the law books and the immigration judge agreed that the government couldn't strip our client of her hard-earned legal residency based on bad, archaic law. Justice prevailed and our client's freedom and status was returned to her after months in detention. 

What is the worst misdemeanor charge someone can allege? In this dispute between neighbors, escalation led one person to claim our client exposed himself, leading to his humiliating arrest. Our client maintained his innocence and a Jury returned a swift verdict of Not Guilty after considering the complainant's non-sensical story, including outright fabrications, and history of problems with our client. 

In a life-changing trial, a young man who had everything (freedom, livelihood, legal status, good name) on the line was adamant that he was innocent of this serious charge. He waited six months in county jail until his day of court and when the jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty, he cried tears of joy. He clung to a bible every day of the week-long trial. When it was over, he handed it to the bailiff, so that it could bring comfort to the next person who was in his shoes. 

We saved a man's life in this case extremely serious felony case. This accusation would have sent our client to the penitentiary for a very long time. He trusted us to prove his innocence and, at trial, the State's case quickly fell apart. Officers failed to complete even the most basic and rudimentary investigation. Thankfully, the State agreed the injustice to our client was too great, and didn't object as we allowed the Judge to instruct the Jury to return a not guilty verdic.t Our client will never get back two years of his life spent worrying about his future: but thanks in part to our hard work, he has a future. 

Client maintained that HE was the victim of this assault, not the aggressor. He claimed the so-called victim lied to police when they responded to this incident. After hearing the 9-1-1 call, the testimony of neighbors, and the so-called victim's testimony disintegrate on cross examination, the jury agreed. Client's freedom restored. 

Client found NOT GUILTY after two day trial of assault. Client was offered a deal by the State but he would have had to declare himself guilty. He maintained his innocence and a jury agreed. 

Cedillo Law Firm took our talents to Wharton County, where a misdemeanor jury found that our client's arguing and asking the officer what probable cause he had to arrest him did not constitute Resisting Arrest/Search. Not Guilty. 

Client- a nurse- maintained her innocence of this DWI charge. We pressed forward to trial and when the State couldn't prove it's case, the Judge ordered the Jury to find, as a matter of law, our client was Not Guilty. Our client's future and her dream of working in the medical field was secured.
