Mike Brandt’s client was being investigated for some alleged financial improprieties when he was working at a school. The School District, as well as the police, claimed that he had misappropriated funds from a Booster Club at his school. The client hired Mike before charges were issued to help him avoid charges. In preparing the case, Mike went through the various procedures that the school had for documenting petty cash, obtained various information regarding the procedures for the Booster Club, and was able to show the prosecutor that there was no way they could prove that his client had taken any money and that it was the school that had sloppy procedures.
Based upon that information, when the case was submitted to the County Attorney for consideration of charges, the County declined to issue charges, thereby avoiding any criminal charge against Mike’s client.
This type of result can occur before someone is charged where Brandt Kettwick Defense gets involved in a thorough investigation of the case even before a client is formally charged.
