Our client was under investigation for possession of a penalty group 2 controlled substance. Before any charge was ever filed, we identified that no lab report existed to support the case, combined that gap with the age of the case and our client's clean history, and argued the file directly to the Assistant District Attorney — the case was declined and never filed, leaving our client eligible to expunge the matter entirely.
Result: Case declined pre-filing, never filed — client eligible for expunction
