FELONY CHARGES AGAINST UN-EMPLOYED SINGLE MOTHER WITH NO CRIMINAL RECORD WILL BE DISMISSED OUTRIGHT SO LONG AS THE CLIENT STAYS OUT OF TROUBLE FOR ONE-YEAR.

According to the Police Report, the alleged victim went to the police department to report that the Defendant, her grandson’s girlfriend, had stolen two checks from her home, fraudulently made both checks out to herself, forged the alleged victim’s name, and cashed both checks, causing the alleged victim to have a negative balance in her checking account. The Defendant was charged Larceny over $250, a felony, and Uttering a False Check, also a felony.

Result: Attorney Gerald J. Noonan convinced the District Attorney to dismiss all charges so long as his Client pays restitution and stays out of trouble for one-year. Attorney Noonan presented evidence that his Client, a 28 year-old un-employed, single mother, stole the checks only because she was under great mental and emotional stress, as she was struggling to financially support her child. The client had no criminal record. She was very remorseful for what she did and deserving of a second chance. The client has already paid the restitution and the charges will be dismissed outright so long as she stays out of trouble for one year.
