Law Offices of Freedman & Freedman Successful in Securing Major Reductions in Multiple Fraud Charges

FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich. - May 16, 2013 - PRLog -- The Law Offices of Freedman & Freedman was able to help a client obtain highly favorable plea deals that dramatically reduced his felony retail fraud charges, subsequently allowing him to avoid potential years of prison time. The law firm’s Michigan attorneys helped the defendant obtain the positive results through hard work and aggressive legal advocacy.

The defendant was a 27-year-old man who was facing multiple felony retail fraud charges (categorized under Retail Fraud 1) in two separate jurisdictions. He received the charges after becoming involved in two separate cases of complex fraud that involved the theft of several thousands of dollars’ worth of electronics from a major big-box retailer. The defendant, who had no previous criminal record, was facing five years of imprisonment for each of the two felony charges.

The defendant feared losing his hard-earned career as well as spending several years in prison, so he turned to the Law Offices of Freedman & Freedman for assistance. Immediately taking action, the law firm employed a multi-layered defense strategy which included having the client undergo an intensive psychological evaluation and subsequently participating in long-term therapy. The complex defense plan proved to be very successful in the defendant’s cases as the attorneys from the Law Offices of Freedman & Freedman were able to negotiate two highly favorable plea deals in both jurisdictions. Through the plea agreements, all of the Defendant’s felony charges will ultimately be dismissed and his public record will only show a single guilty plea to a one-year misdemeanor of Retail Fraud 2. The client also received a guarantee that he would get no prison time and no more than 12 months of probation in either court.

This dramatic and significant reduction in charges served as a major victory for both the defendant and the Law Offices of Freedman & Freedman.
