Selected anonymized matters showing how Spahija Law litigates: attack identification, enforce discovery, suppress what the Constitution requires suppressed.
Our firm represented an individual accused of attempting to steal merchandise from a large supermarket. Store personnel and law enforcement alleged that the customer tried to leave the store without paying, and prosecutors charged the client with misdemeanor-level theft offenses and related counts.
In a New York felony assault prosecution, our firm represented a client charged with assault in the second degree for allegedly stabbing another individual with a pair of scissors inside a barbershop. Because the client had a prior record, prosecutors also charged criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree, along with a misdemeanor third-degree assault count.
Our client was charged with aggravated harassment and violation of a full stay-away, no-contact order of protection. These misdemeanor charges had potential long-term consequences to their record and personal life.
Our firm represented a client charged with violating an order of protection obtained by an individual with whom the client had a longstanding, contentious history. The complaining witness and our client knew one another, and there was an ongoing financial dispute in which the complainant owed the client money.
In another matter involving retail-theft allegations at a large commercial store, our firm represented a client accused of acting together with another individual to steal merchandise. The incident occurred months before our client was arrested, and by the time charges were filed, prosecutors were offering a misdemeanor plea that included a three-month jail sentence.
Our client was arrested and charged with driving while intoxicated after a late-night traffic stop. The client declined to submit to a chemical breath test, and prosecutors initially pursued a misdemeanor drunk-driving charge that could have resulted in a permanent criminal record, license consequences, and other significant penalties.
Our firm represented a driver who was approached by police while sitting in the driver's seat of a parked vehicle. The officer stopped the client based on concerns about engine idling and, during the encounter, reported seeing both open and unopened alcoholic beverage containers inside the car.
