Although courts are not operating as usual because of the COVID pandemic, Chirafisi & Verhoff are still getting outstanding results for clients.
We do quite a bit of "precharge" cases. Those are cases where charges haven't been filed, but very likely will be. Getting a lawyer to gather evidence and work on the case before charges can be filed are incredibly helpful, as this client found out.
Client was referred to Corey Chirafisi regarding 2 counts of sexual assault. Both counts would have been charged as 2nd degree Sexual Assault. They would have required lifetime sex offender registration and potentially prison time. We worked with the DA's office on the case and ultimately resolved all charges with an uncharged deferred prosecution agreement. The client did not have to plead to any charges and was never convicted of anything. If he completes the terms of the agreement, the possibility of charges are gone forever. The great part of the agreement for the client is that if something goes wrong with the agreement, he has the opportunity to fight the case on its merits.
