Felonies Negotiated to Violations
On May 14, 2010 the Law Offices of Gerstein & Yu successfully negotiated 2 separate charges of criminal sale of cocaine to a package plea of P.L. 240.20 Disorderly Conducts which are violations and not crimes.
Result:
An attorney from our office spent two months of hard fought negotiations with the Bronx District Attorney’s office and was ultimately successful in securing a plea which did not require our client to plead guilty to a crime. Our client instead agreed to do 5 days community service total for both cases.
Our attorney negotiated with the probation department and the judge hearing the probation matter and obtained an agreement that there would be no violation of probation as a result of the felony drug charges.
Charges:
Case #05388C-2010.
