Roberts Law Group, PLLC
RALEIGH, NC, May 06, 2011
/24-7PressRelease/ -- After a property dispute led to a breaking and entering charge, as well as communicating threat charge, a young North Carolina man turned to criminal attorney Patrick Roberts at the
Roberts Law Group PLLC. Breaking and entering is a felony charge, whereas a communicating threats charge is a misdemeanor. A
felony conviction in North Carolina could have led to serious jail time, reduced employment options and fines for the accused.
Upon taking the man's case and advocating on behalf of his client,
criminal lawyer Patrick Roberts secured a dismissal of the breaking and entering charge and the communicating threats charge. The charges were dismissed in exchange for a disorderly conduct guilty plea.
The facts of the incident that led to the breaking and entering charges helped to provide evidence that would have weakened the prosecutor's case for the felony charges. In particular, Patrick Roberts uncovered evidence that there was some justification for the conduct of his client and that there were sound reasons why his client entered the accuser's house.
The client's desire to enter military service in the future was also used in negotiations with the assigned Assistant District Attorney (ADA). A felony would have had much greater consequences for Patrick Roberts' client than disorderly conduct and the ADA took the client's possible future in the military into consideration when deciding to drop the more serious charges.
In many cases, the unique facts surrounding an incident that leads to criminal charges can have an important role in the outcome of a criminal case. Certain facts may weaken the strength of a prosecutor's case. A skilled
Raleigh criminal attorney can weigh the evidence and the circumstances surrounding a criminal charge to determine how to use the information to strategically fight against the charges.
