Charges: Contributing to the Delinquency of a Minor
Attorney: Eric W.M. Bain
Date: April 2019
Result: Mr. Bain’s client was charged with assisting a family member evade police capture. Mr. Bain poked holes in the State’s case and negotiated a continuance for dismissal. This resolution avoided a plea, jail time, and probation. Rather, provided Mr. Bain’s client avoids any same or similar offenses for a year, pay costs, and complete volunteer work, then the case will be dismissed.

Charge: Sentencing on Three Stalking Charges
Result: Mr. Bain was retained after his client had already pled guilty to three counts of Gross Misdemeanor Stalking, but before the sentencing hearing. Mr. Bain discovered that one counts was barred by double jeopardy. Prior to the sentencing hearing, Mr. Bain’s client was convicted of another similar offense with the same victim. At sentencing, Mr. Bain successfully argued for a disposition involving house arrest, instead of jail time as requested by the prosecutor.
