Result: All 11 Felony Counts Dismissed on Eve of Trial

Handled By: Attorney Corey Chirafisi

Summary: The client was facing 11 severe felony counts related to the alleged theft and misappropriation of identity involving her late husband’s estate, with the State claiming a financial loss of approximately 1 million dollars. The defense uncovered that the criminal charges were leveraged by civil attorneys involved in a trust dispute who were attempting to use the District Attorney’s office as a weapon to force a financial settlement. Refusing to be bullied by the overreached allegations, the client and Attorney Chirafisi prepared extensively to take the case to trial. Recognizing the fundamental weaknesses in the State’s position, the prosecutor ultimately dismissed all 11 felony charges the Friday before the trial was set to begin, bringing a complete resolution to the matter without a criminal conviction.
