See the following article on PennLive concerning a woman who falsely accused our client of abuse—in a clear attempt to escape multiple federal charges.
She filed a false Protection from Abuse petition against our client in an effort to cover her tracks and to prevent him from contacting the authorities.
We at ThePhillyLawyers are proud to have incredible in-court and trial experience. Fighting cases is what we do best, but sometimes an opportunity arises to negotiate and settle a matter prior to trial, making the entire process easier. Our own Margeaux Cigainero, Esquire recently had a successful non-trial disposition in the case of Commonwealth v. H.T.N.
Imagine this: The police have been conducting surveillance on a Philadelphia warehouse for weeks, suspecting it may be the center of an illegal operation. One day, they pull over a van associated with the location and in their search discover marijuana. Not an ounce of marijuana. Not a pound of marijuana. 630 pounds of marijuana.
Needless to say, the driver, Henry [not his actual name] could not finish his joy ride. The police arrested him immediately.
In Commonwealth v. H.T.N. our client was facing up to five years of incarceration and a $630,000.00 fine. Attorney Cigainero communicated to Henry all his legal options and worked with him to achieve the best-case scenario. As a husband and father, Henry wanted to be out of custody as soon as possible so he could continue to provide for and be present in the lives of his children.
After our client posted bail, we quickly began negotiations with the District Attorney’s office. Within a few weeks, Henry was released to house arrest and was able to continue working and spending time with his young family. He never saw the inside of a prison. He paid almost no fines, and he was able to live with his family and continue to work. Positive outcomes in the criminal justice system often require creative problem solving, negotiations, and listening to our client’s needs.
