State v. J.H.

Stay of Adjudication. Unbelievably pleasant surprise in court this day—a dead-to-rights collateral-consequence nightmare of a set of charges, with multiple witnesses to the inebriated behavior and all confirming the presence of a firearm (albeit with a conceal and carry permit, voided by that alcohol!), resolves via a strong and successful negotiation as a stay of adjudication. Client can retain his gun rights, albeit with a pause on the carry permit, and will not only avoid a conviction, but will achieve an expungement of the entire matter upon successful completion of as few as six months of light conditions on his conduct. Just a remarkable result, for a client who had already avoided a massive prior set of allegations.
