Theft case dismissed for our international client (Manhattan)
2019
Our client was
arrested for stealing property from a business and left the United States before
the case could be resolved. Our client
contacted us for help with the criminal case and for an immigration referral. We negotiated
for a deal that was sensitive to our client’s immigration status
and the possibility that our client would be
arrested when entering the US while the case was pending, even just to go to court.
The prosecutor was receptive to our recommendations and we resolved this
case with an eventual dismissal as long as our client agreed to not get
arrested for 6 months. We were able to accept this deal in our client’s absence
and, in fact, our client never had to personally appear in court to get
this done.
