If your defense strategy isn’t securing your future, it’s probably jeopardizing it.

Background

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.

The Challenges

Our client was looking at a potential 18 years behind bars—a daunting prospect. The prosecution was pushing for the maximum, leveraging every allegation and aggravating factor. The personal use of a knife and the serious bodily injury allegations made this a case where the odds were stacked against us. But we saw more than just the charges; we saw a man who deserved a robust defense.

The Challenges

  1. Comprehensive Investigation: We started by conducting an exhaustive investigation, meticulously reviewing all evidence and witness statements. We sought out any discrepancies and inconsistencies that could help us cast doubt on the prosecution’s narrative.
  2. Building the Defense: Our team focused on discrediting the aggravating factors, challenging the claims of knife use, and scrutinizing the alleged bodily injuries. We worked closely with expert witnesses who could testify on our client’s behalf, providing alternate perspectives on the evidence presented.
  3. Humanizing the Client: We made sure the jury saw our client as a person, not just a defendant. We presented his background, character, and circumstances, showing that there was more to his story than what the charges suggested.
  4. Strategic Negotiations: While preparing for trial, we also engaged in strategic negotiations with the prosecution, highlighting weaknesses in their case and advocating for reduced charges or alternative resolutions.

The Turning Point

During the trial, our relentless pursuit of justice paid off. We effectively challenged the credibility of the prosecution’s key witnesses and presented compelling evidence that called the allegations into question. Our expert witnesses delivered persuasive testimony that dismantled the prosecution’s narrative of personal infliction of great bodily injury.

The Verdict

After a tense and hard-fought trial, the jury returned a verdict of not guilty on all charges. Our client was exonerated, avoiding what could have been nearly two decades in prison.

Conclusion

This case was a testament to the power of thorough preparation, strategic defense, and unwavering dedication to our clients. We stood by our client every step of the way, ensuring that justice prevailed and his future remained intact. Our victory in this case not only changed our client’s life but also reinforced our commitment to defending those who need it most.

We all know that going to court can be very stressful. In my particular case I was arrested on a felony and misdemeanor charge. I mention this because this was the first time I ever had to call around trying to find the right lawyer and was unaware of how expensive attorneys can be, which only added on to my worries.Nonetheless, I called law firm after law firm and felt as if most just wanted to know my charges so that they could hurry and give me a quote. When I got into contact with Mr Kersey, it was a completely different experience, I felt he truly cared about me and understood my worries about possible conviction and my financial worries aswell. He reassured me multiple times on our first call that he would be able to defend me in court (which at the time I really needed to hear) , his confidence, understanding, and willingness to go out of his way to help me find a way to pay for representation sealed my choice with picking Kersey Law to represent me in court. The results, I had all charges, both felony’s and misdemeanors dismissed. The experience of having Kersey Law on my side was one of the best choices I have ever made as they always kept me up to date with everything and anything I needed to know before each court date in a timely fashion. Whenever I had any questions or felt nervous after or before a court hearing, I would reach out to Kersey law and they always made sure that all my questions and worries were addressed. They will communicate with you throughout the entire court process, you will not feel alone and you can rest assured that the people that are representing you in court are truly fighting for you, care about you and have your best interests in mind. With Kersey law you don’t have to go through this challenging process alone and will have someone on your side who can get the job done, like I mentioned prior, with their representation I had all my charges dismissed. This law firm is the right option as they will be there for you from start to end. I will forever be thankful for all of the team at Kersey law!
Best Attorney Experience Jamahl was my first criminal lawyer — and I hope to God my last. What you see is what you get with him. Not only is he an attorney, but he’s also a YouTuber, so you can actually check out his channel and see for yourself how knowledgeable he really is. During the most difficult time of my life, Jamahl was there to tell it like it is. Between court dates, he didn’t waste time with unnecessary calls or meetings, but whenever I had a question, he answered right away. I trusted him to do his job, gave him whatever information he asked for, and it worked out perfectly. He really listened to where I was coming from and understood my case details. Another thing I appreciated was his firm’s pricing — straightforward, clear, and with no hidden fees. At the same time, I had been paying another attorney who charged me for “case review meetings” every month without providing documentation or results. I felt completely taken advantage of. Now I know why that firm is called “The Moore Group” — more money, more frustration, and no results. In the end, thanks to Jamahl and his team, I went from facing two misdemeanors to only having to complete seven anger management classes — and then it will all be dismissed. That’s an incredible outcome, and I couldn’t be more grateful. I wish Mr. Kersey and his family all the best. Thank you to him and everyone who helped make this happen.

Life savers!!! They saved me from one stupid night of pushing and shoving that got blown out of proportion and leaded me to jail time and some charges. They were able to work quickly and efficiently to have all charges dropped and save me from this misunderstandment. They worked in a group to make sure all the files Were uploaded and updated me everyday about my case!!!! Honestly, I never thought I would have found myself needing any defensive lawyers but never say never. Would highly recommend this group. Worth every cent!!!
