Charges Dropped

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.

Lawyer Kersey and his staff are amazing. Got me in a free strategy plan same day. They do criminal cases and mine ended up being Civil but Mr. Kersey went out of his way to still help and took the time to answer my questions and the whole process helped ease me going through this.
I had a free consultation with Nathan. From the start, he was honest and said he did not think he was right person for my case as it was a federal matter. Even though Nathan knew I would not be using his services further, he still took the time to help me find someone who could assist me with my case. He was very kind and took his time when explaining everything to me, and gave me hope by pointing me in the right direction. If I ever need legal help I will definitely be coming to him!
