Our client was arrested on two ten-year-old open felony warrants. Our client had two felony drug charges from ten years ago, had skipped bond, and just never took care of them. We immediately got involved and ordered all the evidence from the police. We quickly discovered that the State did not have the evidence to proceed to trial and win.
Ultimately, we convinced the state to dismiss the charges. We then filed a motion with the circuit court judge to withdraw the judgment forfeiting our client’s bond. We were able to highlight all the positive changes our client had made in his life over the past ten years, and the judge granted our motion. That saved our client approximately $30,000 — in addition to having his felony charges dismissed.
