United States v. G.B.

June, 2025
Charges: Drug Conspiracy / Federal Crimes

Another significant trial victory for Dan Adkins, who has impressively maintained an unblemished record in contested bench and jury trials since 2013.

In this particular case, Mr. Adkins was able to secure outstanding results for his client. Key among these accomplishments was the outright acquittal of the Drug Conspiracy charge against the client, despite the prosecution presenting a substantial amount of evidence that seemed to strongly implicate the client in this serious crime. The skillful defense tactics employed by Mr. Adkins not only dismantled the prosecution's evidence but also highlighted significant weaknesses in their case.

While the jury ultimately convicted the client on the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) count, they notably declined to allocate any drug weights to this conviction. This was a critical factor, as it significantly mitigated the potential repercussions for the client during sentencing. The prosecution's last offer to resolve the case involved a dramatically harsh sentence of life in prison. However, due to the efforts of Mr. Adkins and his team, there is now a possibility for the defense to argue for a considerably shorter sentence, estimated to be closer to 188 months, although it may still extend beyond that.

It's important to note that actual sentencing will not occur for several months, during which time Mr. Adkins and his team will continue to devote their efforts to preparing for this next phase of the legal battle. Despite the complexities that lie ahead, the client expressed immense gratitude and relief at the outcomes achieved so far, feeling justifiably thrilled by the progress made in such a challenging case.

The meticulous work done by Mr. Adkins and his understanding of the nuances in federal law have opened up new avenues for the client's future, proving once again the value of having a skilled attorney by one's side during tumultuous legal battles.
