Today, the firm represented a person accused of having a marijuana grow operation in his house. After the police served a search warrant on his home, the prosecution alleged that he had a gun in the home to protect the grow operation. Due to our strenuous argument that the search of the residence was illegal and that the gun was not actually related to the grow operation (in legal terms, there was no “nexus” between the gun and the grow operation), the prosecution agreed to withdraw their felony charge and instead only pursue misdemeanor charges. This massive change allowed the client to avoid all jail time, keep his record clear of felonies, keep his job, and even have the case dismissed in one year’s time.
