Assault Case Results

To see just how successful our approach is, here are some representative results:

State v. N.M.

August, 2015
Charges: 5th Degree Assault Expungement

Expungement granted. Client was unsuccessful in seeking an expungement less than a year ago. Mr. Gempeler had the expungement hearing venued at the Stand Down event - an event that offers extensive free services to veterans. It was the first time an expungement had been heard at this event. Due to the client's tremendous service and rehabilitation record, the Judge felt compelled and "proud" to grant this expungement. No longer will this record be a disqualifying offense by the DHS and prospective employers.

Types of Charge(s): Assault Case Results

State v. C.S.

July, 2015
Charges: Felony Assault count against a Sheriff’s Deputy

Misdemeanor sentence to an assault charge, successfully obtained upon arguments directly to Trial Judge – even after the State refused to relent from a prison-commit offer. No jail was required. Client’s outstanding effort to rehabilitate himself changed hearts and minds, and legal arguments regarding voluntary intoxication convinced the judge to extend a probationary outcome to the client. A significant win, to say the least.

Types of Charge(s): Assault Case Results, Felonies

State v. F.H.

July, 2015
Charges: Total of 12 files, 9 of which contained felony counts, including Assault, First Degree Drug Sales, and Kidnapping.

Client avoided designation as a Career Felony Offender, and thereby avoided a prison term of at least twenty years; he will serve only 2-6 months additional incarceration over the term he was already serving for a prior Kidnapping conviction (in that matter, the client avoided a possible Attempted First Degree Homicide prosecution, and received less than 20% of the time he would normally have had to serve). Multiple complex negotiations were required, and artful work with a particularly talented and well-regarded prosecutor. The client will be home to give his children back a father in less than 18 months, armed with a new lease on life.
