Case Results: How Our Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorney Wins Tough Cases
Attempted Murder Charges Dismissed
Superior Court of California, City of Los Angeles
Charge: Attempted Murder (PC 664-187(A))
Our client was accused of attempted murder following a violent altercation in which they claimed self-defense. The prosecution argued that the force used was excessive, initially reducing the charge to attempted voluntary manslaughter and adding a gun enhancement that significantly increased the potential sentence. Attorney Hashemi filed a PC 995 motion, challenging the charges and presenting a strong case for self-defense. After a detailed review of the evidence and extensive oral arguments, the court agreed that our client had acted lawfully, leading to a complete dismissal of all charges.
Robbery, Assault, and Extortion Charges Dropped
Superior Court of California, City of Riverside
Charges: Robbery (PC 211), Assault with a Firearm (PC 245(a)), Extortion (PC 524), Criminal Threats (PC 422), and Multiple Enhancements
Facing serious allegations, our client was charged with multiple felonies, including robbery and assault with a firearm—offenses that carried a potential 15-year prison sentence. Attorney Hashemi launched an extensive year-long investigation, gathering critical evidence to support a self-defense claim. After presenting the findings to the District Attorney, the prosecution determined that our client’s actions were justified. As a result, all charges were dismissed before trial, and our client was able to walk away free of a criminal record.
Felony Assault with a Deadly Weapon Charges Dismissed
Superior Court of California, City of Los Angeles
Charges: 2 Counts of Felony Assault with a Deadly Weapon (PC 245(a)(1))
Our client was charged with two counts of felony assault with a deadly weapon, facing the possibility of 16 years in state prison. The case presented significant challenges, as the prosecution relied on witness statements and forensic evidence to argue for a conviction. Attorney Hashemi conducted a detailed case review, exposing weaknesses in the prosecution’s arguments. After persistent negotiations and pre-trial motions, the District Attorney ultimately agreed to drop all charges, ensuring that our client avoided prison and maintained a clean record.
Murder Charge Reduced – Avoided Life Sentence
Superior Court of California, City of Los Angeles
Charge: Murder (PC 187(a))
Charged with murder, our client faced a potential sentence of 25 years to life in prison. The stakes were extremely high, and the prosecution aggressively pursued the case. Attorney Hashemi led a comprehensive defense strategy, focusing on self-defense arguments and mitigating factors that could reduce the charges. After numerous hearings, witness testimonies, and expert analysis, the District Attorney agreed to drop the murder charge in exchange for a plea to voluntary manslaughter, resulting in a dramatically reduced sentence of six years instead of life in prison.
