17 Year-Old Male Facing Mandatory 15 Year Felony Gets 3 Years Probation

Oct. 10, 2012 - PRLog -- Michigan – A 17-year-old male was charged with Criminal Sexual Conduct in the 3rd degree, which is a mandatory 15 year felony in the state of Michigan. The young man was successfully represented by the Michigan criminal defense firm, the Law Offices of Freedman & Freedman.

Freedman & Freedman became involved in the young man’s case in the early investigative stages thus enabling the firm to initiate positive dialogue with both the investigative officers as well as the prosecuting attorney’s office.

Through their discussions, an extremely favorable plea agreement was formulated whereby Freedman and Freedman’s client would neither be required to spend one single day behind bars nor would he be required to register as a sex offender. Additionally, once the young man successfully completed a period of probation, he would not have a criminal record whatsoever.

At the time of sentencing, through the firm’s intensive efforts, the presiding Judge overseeing the case ultimately determined that their client should only receive three years of reporting probation and he even encouraged their office to request that the sentence be reviewed for a reduction after just two years.

Freedman & Freedman was put to the test and ultimately was successful in overcoming a complicated set of facts and circumstances in the case, including issues regarding the consensual nature of the sexual conduct between their client and the alleged victim.

The Law Offices of Freedman & Freedman was extremely proud to have successfully represented this young man facing such serious felony charges. This young man could easily have been anyone’s teenage son with his entire life ahead of him, and rather than having his life destroyed by an ordinary and innocent act of youth, he received an extraordinary and positive outcome that he more than deserved.
