Charges Case Details Outcome Date of Resolution
When our client walked into our office, the stakes couldn’t have been higher. Charged with carjacking under Penal Code 215, with allegations of personal infliction of great bodily injury and the use of a knife, he faced an uphill battle. On top of that, four aggravating factors were in play, threatening to make him eligible for the maximum sentence of 16 years and 8 months in prison. Adding to the complexity, he had another case that could have added two more years if found guilty.
Not Guilty
July, 16th 2024
As a criminal defense attorney, I often encounter cases that test the very fabric of justice. One such case involved a young male client facing serious charges, including attempted murder, shooting at an inhabited dwelling, and various firearm-related offenses. The severity of these charges meant that my client was looking at a potential life sentence, with an additional 20-year firearm enhancement, leading to a daunting prospect of over 30 years to life in prison.

I have no other words to describe Kersey Law group but “”Superb grateful excellent!!””. I’m tearing up writing this because when you are in a difficult situation and you hope and pray that you can have full confidence that your lawyer will truly have your back and take care of you - this was our experience 110% with Kersey. The professionalism Kersey brought to the table, his expertise with confidence and even kindness cannot be matched. He was not only considerate, but takes the time to communicate fully, detailed on what’s needed and does an amazing job handling our case. We truly are very thankful and are appreciative of such a stellar law firm. God bless you.
I am more than grateful with the outcome of my case. Upon meeting with Mr.Kersey and his team they gave me a great feeling of reassurance, trust, and belief in which played a major role in why I would definitely recommend the Kersey firm to anyone in need of legal representation. They work fast and efficiently to get you the best results possible.When your freedom is in jeopardy and your truth is being questioned having someone fight for you and win is more than an outstanding feeling which is exactly what Mr.Kersey delivered. I was wrongly accused of charges and placed under arrest and put in jail for a charge that would have violated my probation.The end results were Mr. Kersey had all the charges dropped and my probation was rightfully terminated. I send nothing but my highest regards respects and gratitude to Mr. Kersey thanks again
Truly amazing experience! In our time of need Michelle Boss, Marisa, and Nathan came through for us (my nephew and I) in a major way. All charges were dropped and we were able to resume our lives. This team actually cares, were very attentive, the pricing was more than reasonable and they communicated with us every step of the way. Marisa, Nathan and Michelle definitely put my initially fears and doubts about our situation to rest as we proceeded with our case. I had total confidence in my team and the desired outcome was met. If you ever find yourself in need I highly recommend this law firm.
