Through meticulous case review and strategic legal action, Kersey Law dismantled the false claims, leading to a full dismissal of all charges. This case underscores the importance of skilled legal representation when facing unfounded accusations.
Charges Dropped
August, 21th 2024
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 am deeply grateful to Kersey Law for their exceptional support and dedication in handling my son Shelton’s case. Mitchelle, in particular, has been outstanding, consistently advocating for my son, including attending his diversion hearings. The entire office demonstrated remarkable patience and professionalism throughout the process. Despite joining the case midway after we had dismissed our initial attorney, the Kersey team immediately implemented a clear, strategic plan of action. They kept us thoroughly informed at every stage, ensuring we understood each step. Thanks to their committed and skilled representation, my son, who was facing the possibility of years in prison, has been freed from this difficult situation. I will always be indebted to the Kersey Law Firm for their unwavering support and effective advocacy
I am beyond grateful to Keysey Law Firm for everything they've done, not just for me but for my family as well. For over 25 years, I've carried a weight I thought I might never be free from. Thanks to Mr. Kersey and his team that burden has finally been lifted. Even though I live in Texas and this case was in California their team made the entire process seamless. I was prepared to travel across the country is needed, but Mr. Kersey and his team handled everything remotely, with professionalism, care and incredible efficiency. Their customer service is outstanding, always responsive, kept me informed every step of the way and never once made me feel like my many questions were ever a bother. Their patience, kindness, and dedication stood out in every interaction. The relief I feel now is hard to put into words...it's overwhelming is the best possible way. What once felt impossible is now behind me, and that's entirely because of the incredible team at Kersey Law. From the bottom of my heart..thank you all!!
My personal experience with kersey is nothing but 5 stars. I was accused of assault with a deadly weapon, by a drunk guy at bar whom I broke up the fight. I told investigators this, and I had witnesses but the prosecution didn’t let up. Michelle, Marisa, Pati, & Jamal presented my case punctually and clearly. Initially we couldn’t get the charges dropped, but we got the case dismissed and I can get back on with my life. Would recommend to anyone in San Diego! Thank you Michelle!
