In People v. T.M., the client was charged with the felony of Grand Larceny in the Third Degree. The client was accused of stealing merchandise valued at approximately $17,000 and facing a criminal record that would be devastating to his professional life, if convicted.

Mr. DeCarolis was able to facilitate his client’s entry into a diversionary program that allowed his client to have his charges completed dismissed upon successful completion. The client took advantage of the opportunity, completed the program without issue, and his case was completely DISMISSED leaving him WITH NO CRIMINAL RECORD.

In People v. E.B., the client was charged with Menacing a Police Officer. The client was confronted by members of law enforcement that responded to his home when he and his family were the victims of a crime.  

The client, a New York state licensed and lawful pistol permit holder, removed his gun from his pants in response to a request from a police officer. The police officer reacted poorly to the simple follow through on his request and escalated an already difficult situation. Sadly Mr. DeCarolis’ client was charged with Menacing a Police Officer. Mr. DeCarolis and his client willingly appeared before a Grand Jury to share their side of the story, which the Grand Jury agreed with, as they NO BILLED the case and DISMISSED the charge.

In People v. K.R., the client was charged with Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance in the Second Degree and faced a mandatory period of incarceration between 3 to 10 years, if convicted. The Police intercepted a package sent to the client’s residence that contained a substantial quantity of illegal drugs.  

Mr. DeCarolis launched his own vigorous investigation that immediately put the police’s theory of the case into question. Quickly, it become apparent that the the client had no knowledge of the package being sent to his home and was a victim of unfortunate circumstances. A Grand Jury clearly agreed with Mr. DeCarolis’ theory rather than the police and prosecutor and it NO BILLED the case and DISMISSED the charge.

In People v. A.G., the client was charged with Criminal Possession of a Weapon in the Second Degree and faced a mandatory period of incarceration between 3 1/2 - 15 years, if convicted. A gun was found in the car occupied by the client in a private parking lot.

At a suppression hearing, Mr. DeCarolis was able to elicit testimony from the police officer on cross examination that established the police officer lacked a lawful reason to approach and ultimately search the vehicle occupied by his client. The Judge SUPPRESSED the gun at the conclusion of the hearing which required that the DA’s office DISMISS the weapons charge against A.G.

 

In People v. T.K., in the midst of a contentious divorce, the client was accused of molesting his 6 year old daughter. 

Mr. Nobles called for an extensive sex offender evaluation and two polygraph exams. When T.K. testified in the Grand Jury, the CASE was DISMISSED without his client ever being arrested or taken into custody.

In People v. J.R., the defendant was accused of menacing another person who had unlawfully entered his property with bad intentions. J.R. was acting prudently and responsibly and was simple following the instructions of the 911 operator when he displayed but did not discharge his legally-owned shotgun. Despite the lawfulness of his actions, J.R. was charged with menacing.

Mr. DeCarolis presented these facts and circumstances as well as the justifiable actions of his client and the Judge moved to DISMISS THE CASE IN THE INTEREST OF JUSTICE.

In People v. S.D., the defendant was accused of possessing two stolen ATVs. S.D. maintained that he lawfully purchased the ATVs on CraigsList and had no reason to suspect the items were stolen.

Mr. DeCarolis established a compelling amount of evidence to support these claims. The evidence was ultimately put in front of the Grand Jury which found there was insufficient proof to charge S.D. with a crime. The Grand Jury DISMISSED ALL OF THE CHARGES.

In People v. L.D., the defendant was accused of causing damage to another person's car. 

A thorough investigation commenced by Mr. DeCarolis revealed video footage of L.D. more than ten miles from the scene of the crime at the exact time the accuser claimed L.D. broke her car windows. A copy of the video was quickly provided to the District Attorney's Office and the CHARGES WERE DISMISSED at the first court appearance.

In People v. S.J., the defendant was accused of raping a woman and faced up to 25 years in prison if convicted.

Mr. DeCarolis was hired at a late stage just prior to trial, however he immediately conducted an extensive and vigorous investigation of the accuser. It was revealed that this was the fourth time the accuser had made rape allegations against someone and that the three prior instances had all been false. Mr. DeCarolis presented this compelling information to the District Attorney's Office and they quickly DROPPED ALL CHARGES against S.J. on the eve of the trial.

In People v. J.S., the client was accused of intentionally killing an individual with a handgun. Upon investigation it was quickly revealed that this was a clear case of justification as J.S. was acting in self-defense when he shot the gun.

Mr. DeCarolis assisted in preparing J.S. to testify before the Grand Jury. Ultimately the Grand Jury declined to pursue homicide charges of any kind against the defendant. The homicide charge was dismissed less than 2 weeks after J.S. was originally charged.
