Location: Broward County
Charge Type: Felony
Result: Not Guilty
The Situation
Our client, a young woman with no recent criminal history, had no idea that a warrant for attempted murder had been issued against her years ago. She only discovered it when she went to the police station as a victim to report a crime—only to be arrested on the spot.
Because attempted murder is a non-bondable offense, she was immediately held without the possibility of release, facing the real threat of spending life in prison.
She turned to Rossen Law Firm for help with everything on the line.
The Defense Strategy
When our attorneys took on the case, they knew there was no time to waste. Waiting for the prosecution to dictate the case was not an option. Instead, she took proactive steps to secure the best possible outcome for our client.
- Immediately engaged a private investigator to uncover critical evidence and locate key witnesses.
- Gathered mitigation materials that highlighted our client’s background, lack of criminal history, and the circumstances surrounding the incident.
- Filed strategic legal motions to challenge the charges and open negotiations with the prosecution.
- Presented the prosecution with compelling evidence showing why a charge reduction was necessary.
By building a strong mitigation package and applying strategic pressure, our attorneys convinced the prosecution to reconsider the severity of the charges.
The Result
Thanks to aggressive defense work and expert legal strategy, we successfully reduced the charge from attempted murder to a lesser offense.
Instead of facing a life sentence, our client will serve a county jail sentence and be released in a few months.
Result: Charges Reduced
Our client can now move forward with her life, free from the shadow of a life sentence—a life-changing victory that demonstrates the power of experienced legal representation.
