My client was facing the fight of his life—literally.
He had been charged with attempted murder, and the District Attorney was aggressively pursuing a conviction that could have landed him in prison for life. From the outset, the case looked grim. The alleged “victim” had been shot, and my client was the one holding the gun.
But we knew there was more to the story—and the law was on our side.
Through meticulous investigation and a deep understanding of California’s self-defense laws, my defense team and I began to uncover the truth. We located and reviewed surveillance video footage from a nearby property, which captured the moments leading up to the incident. The raw footage was unclear, but we didn’t stop there.
We brought in a digital forensic expert, who enhanced the video and audio with extraordinary precision. What that enhanced footage revealed was critical:
- The so-called “victim” was armed with a firearm
- He was seen aggressively charging at my client, provoking a confrontation
- After the shooting, the attacker’s firearm is clearly visible on the ground—undeniable proof that my client acted in lawful self-defense
With this new evidence, we were able to negotiate a dramatic reduction of charges. Instead of spending decades—or life—in prison, my client walked away from a near-certain conviction with his freedom intact.
This case is a powerful reminder of what’s at stake in serious criminal cases—and how skilled legal strategy, thorough investigation, and expert collaboration can literally change a life.
