9 Counts in 2 Criminal Complaints Dismissed. Minimum Mandatory 25 year sentence - Dane County- Over 240 years of possible imprisonment dismissed

We have been saying for some time that our results are uncommon. No case we have handled better illustrates that fact than this one.

Client was charged in a case which gained attention based on his job, a teacher at a middle school.

He was initially charged in a 4 count complaint with among other things, first degree sexual assault of one of his students.

Almost 2 years later the child accused the client and his roommate of sexual assault, adding 5 additional counts to the charges. The new charges added a twist, the allegations triggered a minimum mandatory sentence of 25 years to two counts. Meaning if the client was convicted he would have to serve 25 years in prison before the possibility of release.

We filed a motion to dismiss the case because the police destroyed an interview with the child where the child denied he had ever been assaulted in any way. We also dug in and did the “hard shit” getting experts to go through forensic evidence. That evidence established the child was clearly lying about the allegations. We presented that evidence to the DA, along with our motion to dismiss.

Prior to the hearing, which has been a staple in our cases lately, the DA simply moved to dismiss all charges. It is the 3rd case in a row, handled by Corey Chirafisi that the hearing never actually took place, instead the government simply dismissed the charges.

We believe that these results are better than other firms. We are happy to put these results up against any other firm.

The client can try to piece his life back together after 2 long years. We are thrilled to be a small part of that process.
