Fighting for Justice When the Stakes Are High

Securing a Life-Changing Outcome in an Attempted Murder Case


When Maria Delgado (name changed for privacy) came to Rossen Law Firm, she was terrified. A young woman with no recent criminal history, Maria had no idea that a warrant had been issued years ago for attempted murder. She only learned about it when she went to report a crime as a victim—only to be arrested herself. Facing the possibility of life in prison, she was desperate for a legal team that would fight for her future.

Attorney Susan Lawson quickly took charge of the case, recognizing the urgency of Maria’s situation. Because attempted murder charges do not allow for bond, Susan immediately worked to get an investigator involved and gathered mitigation evidence to present to the prosecution. Within a remarkably short time, she secured a critical charge reduction. Instead of facing a lifetime in prison, Maria’s charge was reduced to a lesser offense—resulting in a non-prison sentence and a clear path forward. She will serve her time in county jail and be released this summer, avoiding the devastating impact of a long-term prison sentence.

“Maria can finally sleep at night knowing she has a future,” said Susan Lawson.

“This was a case where working fast and making the right strategic decisions made all the difference.” Now, instead of waiting years in jail for a trial with an uncertain outcome, she will soon be back home, able to continue her story.
