Felony Criminal Mischief Charge Dismissed In Lauderdale-by-the-Sea

Outcome of Criminal Mischief Case: 

The felony criminal mischief charge Elisa G. received in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea was completely dismissed within a month due to Rossen Law Firm’s swift action.

Client Concerns about Criminal Mischief Charge:

Elisa is a 63-year-old fiery Italian, and she does not put up with anybody’s B.S. Elisa knew that she was in the wrong, but she was worried about a criminal record, and also worried about paying the bill for the damages to the car.

Facts about Criminal Mischief Case:

Elisa lives in a condo in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, and she rides her bike everywhere.

 

There is a rude, pretentious woman who lives in her neighborhood who parks her Maserati in an end spot at an angle in the parking lot. When she does this, her car blocks the storage unit for bikes.

 

Elisa got frustrated one day and had enough. She aggressively opened the door to the bike storage area. The door swung open to hit the car. Then, Elisa repeated this action multiple times.

 

Afterwards, Elisa casually put her bike away and walked home. Elisa was confronted by the police two days later, it was all caught on camera. She admitted everything to the police. Because the damages cost more than $1,000, Elisa was arrested and charged with a felony. When it comes to criminal mischief charges, the cost of the damage is what determines if the charge is a misdemeanor or a felony.

 

Strategy on Criminal Mischief Case:

We worked through the pre-filling stage with a case filer who was very receptive.

 

We tried to get the charges dropped right away without making Elisa pay for the damages, but there was surveillance video showing that her actions were intentional (as she allowed the storage door to hit the car multiple times).

 

The case filer said that if she paid the money in damages, he would not file the felony charge. The woman who owned the Maserati was extremely difficult and insisted on getting not only the cost of the damages, but also wanted to receive the diminished value of the vehicle. She made Elisa pay $18,500.

 

We worked with Elisa to explain that it would be in her best interests to pay the woman, unfortunately, and walk away without any criminal charges. Because Elisa took our advice, she avoided ever getting a felony charge on her record at all.

In one of the most stressful times in my life, Rossen Law Firm was there for me. Leaving no stone unturned they provided patience and knowledge in every detail of my case. I’m very thankful and proud of this law firm family and especially of my lawyer, Scott Simmons for guiding, defending and helping me in every way possible. He and this law firm family come highly recommended from personal experience!!!

I had an unfortunate situation with a family member that lead to my arrest and being charged with DV Battery. This was the first time I had ever been arrested so I was very nervous and afraid of what was going to happen to me. After talking with Adam I decided to retain him and let me tell you this was the BEST decision I could have ever made. Adam made me feel so comfortable and confident that everything will turn out the best in my favor. He is professional, ethical and supportive. He was always available too answer any questions or concerns.Not to mention, his team at the office is awesome they are so friendly and welcoming. Anytime I had a question when I called the office they were able to guide me in the rightdirection. They always were in contact with me with any information or updates regarding my case. Adams team is GREAT!Adam delivered, my case was DISMISSED. So if you want an attorney the is gonna fight for you and get the job done retain the BEST there is Adam Rossen!!!

Adam Rossen and the team at Rossen Law took great care in handling my case. They are very professional, and get the job done. I was particular relieved to see just how much empathy they showed with me, and how effortless it was to be their client.I literally visited them twice. My initial consultation, and then to pickup the final docs. I have nothing but great things to say about these folks, and I would highly recommend them to anyone. Thanks Guys.

I had an amazing experience with The Rossen Law Firm. The staff were very professional. Attorney Susan Lawson went above and beyond working on my case. We were thoroughly prepared for trial. Mrs. Lawson reviewed hours of body and dash camera footage multiple times and aggressively performed depositions on witnesses and law enforcement.The final outcome for me was the state dropped my case, due to the great work Susan and the Rossen team performed. I didn’t even need to go to trial.This law firm does not play around. They pay attention to detail and they FIGHT FOR YOU!Thank you Adam, team, and a special thank you to Susan for your amazing work! I really appreciate you.

My experience with Rossen Law Firm was excellent. From the consultation to the end.. My attorney Susan Lawson gave my son's case all the time and attention that was needed to be successful in court. She was confident during all the court proceedings. My favorite part was when she said we are family, never once my son and I were treated other then that. I very much appreciate the knowledge and support I received through Rossen Law Firm.
