Theft charges dismissed (Manhattan)
2020
Lance’s client, a delivery driver, was arrested for several incidents where some of the packages were tampered with and some of the contents went missing. Our client was the only person who was in possession at the time of the theft and was arrested and charged with three separate cases. Our client contacted us for help. We fought the case on certain provability issues including the use of circumstantial evidence and the fact that there were others who had accesses to the merchandise near the time of the alleged theft. We negotiated a deal with the prosecutor where in exchange for our client pleading guilty only to one charge of disorderly conduct, a non-criminal violation, the other charges and other cases would be dropped. We took this deal and it also caused the event to be sealed off of our client’s record.
