Our client Leticia M. was charged with multiple counts of residential burglary and felony evading arising from a crime spree that spanned many months and included numerous victims. The District Attorney’s office had also alleged that the homeowners were present during the commission of all of the burglaries which served as a special allegation, increasing our client’s potential state prison sentence.
After presenting to the District Attorney’s office, the many factors in mitigation, including depression, duress, and addiction, we successfully obtained probation and no jail for our client. Leticia, who was set to enroll in UCLA prior to being arrested, was facing 10 years in state prison if convicted.
