Case Dismissed
I was contacted by the San Benito County Counsel asking me if I would take a case that no other attorney in the area wanted. The case was a drug possession and drug sales case and the first thing I did was to get this man out of jail. I filed a bail motion which was granted by a former San Benito judge. Once he was out of custody, I filed a motion to suppress the evidence on his behalf. The San Benito District Attorney's office decided they would not oppose my motion and therefore the case was dismissed. Further, in another case in Hollister that involved possession of drugs and sales of drugs, this man was driving when the Hollister police officer stopped him for driving over the limit line. The officer then searched his vehicle and found drugs in a UPS jacket that he attributed to the driver. However, I was able to prove the jacket actually belonged to the passenger in the vehicle and therefore the case was dismissed.
