Case Results

Client was charged with Domestic Assault for breaking a glass door during an argument with his wife in their home. This crime was charged as a felony based on our client's prior Assault convictions, facing him with a maximum penalty of up to 5 years and a $10,000 fine. Attorney Alex Rogosheske argued that the facts in this case demanded a less-serious punishment than a felony conviction, and instead suggested a resolution requiring only an admission of guilt and some community service. The Court granted the departure request and even modified the no-contact order to afford our client freedom to see and spend time with his children.

Client struck another vehicle with her car while exiting a parking lot, and was subsequently charged with 4th Degree DUI. When a number of prescription pills not belonging to our client were discovered on her person, the Officer decided to charge her with Felony 5th Degree Possession as well. Attorney Alex Rogosheske reached an agreement with the State keeping the felony off of our client’s record once she completed probation for the DUI.

Charged with possession of marijuana and Gross Misdemeanor 3rd Degree DUI, her second in ten years, client hired attorney Alex Rogosheske. Alex successfully struck a deal with the State allowing our client to plead to just Misdemeanor 4th Degree DUI, dropping all other charges against her. Both Alex and our client were very pleased with the agreement.

The police were called to the Defendant’s house for a 911 hang-up call. Believing that domestic assault had been committed on the Defendant’s wife, the officers sought out and searched the Defendant who was in his back yard with a loaded Russian Caliber 30-06 with a scope. The police officers subdued him and arrested him charging him with intentionally attempting to commit great bodily harm on them by shooting them while they were entering his back yard. After a six-day trial, the jury found the Defendant not guilty on both counts involving both police officers. The jury was out for only 35 minutes.

The Defendant was arrested in the City of Hastings for driving while under the influence with an aggravating factor of a .16 blood alcohol or greater. Based on our investigation, it was determined that the Defendant was on private property entering onto a public roadway. Since the officers only reason for stopping the Defendant was a failure to signal based on previous appellate litigation by our office, State v. Timmerman, one is not obligated to signal a turn coming out of private property. The case was dismissed and the charges dismissed against the Defendant.
