Eventually, negotiations resulted with the DA agreeing to continue sentencing and retroactively dismissing the felony he had pleaded guilty too already (VERY RARE). However, court was unable to sentence him that day because part of the deal was that we provide documentation of car insurance, had he been sentenced that day, he would have been eventually released from jail and risk deportation. Instead, Austin was able to get DA and court to agree to release him on OR so that he would be released in court that day, effectively avoiding any immigration consequences.

(Speeding Ticket On Radar)

“A year ago I was ticketed for speeding; it was caught on police radar. Additionally, I missed my court date due to personal reasons.

Then I was referred to Mr. Moaddel from a friend, and he worked some magic and had the entire case dismissed.”

(Suspended License…DISMISSED!!)
–Angela

“I went to Mr. Moaddel’s office a few months ago when I got this ridiculous driving w/ a suspended lic ticket. The officer was a jerk. Mr.Moaddel was able to assure me that everything would be fine & I WOULDN’T HAVE TO GO TO COURT (which was great!). Every time I had a court date, he would call me shortly after and explain what was going. At the end of my case, I got the best news ever, my case was DISMISSED!!! I couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer who’s experienced, aggressive, and gets the job done!”

Today he was reinstated with 15 days of community labor, no jail.

(Serna Motion: 10 Year Old Case)

(DUI–Reduced)

Client got sited for a DUI with a .13% BAC. We had issues regarding the manner in which the client was stopped by law enforcement. They claimed they pulled him over because he was not wearing a seat belt, but the MVARs clearly show he had a seat belt on when officers approached him. The diligent attorneys at Moaddel Law Firm were able to reduce the DUI to a wet reckless charge and now our client does not have a DUI on his record.

Upon arrival to court for his preliminary hearing, I was able to negotiate with DA to dismiss the stalking and domestic violence counts; get client credit for time served; he pled to 1 count of felony criminal threats 422. However, provided client does his 52 weeks of counseling and 59 days of work-release, he will be able to earn a misdemeanor reduction on the charge and therefore ultimately not have a felony on his record. Additionally, client will get to go home tonight back to his family and get his life back on track.

(Case Dismissed)

Client was facing a frivolous violation of court order charge and wanted to fight the case at all costs. Initially, the District Attorney’s office wanted to client to take a plea in where he would have to take 52 weeks of anger management classes plus 3 years of probation. Ultimately both sides were at a deadlock because the DA would not change their position on the case and the case was headed for trial. On the day of trial, DA countered with a new offer to reduce probation and delete the anger management courses. We rejected the deal again.

DA agreed to give client another chance which is when the judge recalled and quashed the warrant. Our client was able to re-enroll in his DUI class and he no longer has to worry about being arrested with a warrant hanging over his head.
