The Law Offices of Robert Schuster Reduces Felony to Non-Criminal Violation

MOUNT KISCO, N.Y. - June 11, 2013 - PRLog -- The Law Offices of Robert Schuster, a criminal defense firm serving Westchester County, including the Bronx, Yonkers, Yorktown and White Plains, recently achieved success for a client in a high-profile drug case.

The client had placed an ad on Craigslist attempting to sell over two pounds of marijuana. An undercover officer responded to this add and a controlled buy was made while the officer remained undercover. Charged with the criminal sale of marijuana in the third degree, a class D felony in New York, Mr. Schuster’s client faced seven years in state prison.

Mr. Schuster achieved the defendant’s release without bail, on his first appearance in court. Even though the evidence was largely against the defendant as a result of the alleged sale, Mr. Schuster was able to negotiate with the People and uncovered weaknesses in the prosecution’s case. After rigorous discovery and bringing forth evidence that included defective forensic reports, Mr. Schuster was able to get the felony reduced to a misdemeanor and ultimately to a disorderly conduct charge, a noncriminal violation. The defendant paid a $100 fine and was able to get the felony charge and associated charges fully sealed.
