Education:
Our client was arrested for felony assault in Queens, and the Assistant District Attorney wanted our client to plead guilty to the crime. However, at Carrasco Law Office, we conducted a thorough investigation that allowed us to cast doubt on the allegations. Outcome: all charges dismissed.
After an allegation of rape made by our client's ex, he was arrested and charged with rape. At Carrasco Law Office, we prepared our client for his Grand Jury testimony. Fortunately, the Grand Jury voted not to indict him. Following further investigation by our team, the case was ultimately dismissed.
Detectives investigating our client in Queens County were prepared to arrest him. However, with the assistance of Carrasco Law Office in the investigation, the detectives ultimately determined that our client was likely not involved. Outcome: no arrest.
Our client was wanted on outstanding charges in Queens. Detectives from the local precinct kept visiting his home at all times of the day, looking to arrest him. The Carrasco Law Office negotiated a surrender at a date and time convenient for our client (he needed a few weeks—and we were able to negotiate that). The client surrendered without incident, and we were there with him, from walking into the precinct to arraignment.
The Law Office of Edward Carrasco has handled over 100 assault cases in Queens, Manhattan, Bronx, Brooklyn, and Nassau Counties. Some of them include:
Client 1: Our client's former lawyer suggested taking a guilty plea. Instead, they chose Carrasco Law Office, and we were able to continue to fight until the case was ultimately dismissed.
Client 2: From Felony Assault to a three-hour Anger Management Class--no criminal conviction or record.
Client 3: Our client's soon-to-be ex-wife fabricated charges to gain the upper hand in a divorce. We fought until the case was ultimately dismissed.
Client 4: A local, prominent attorney needed assistance in dealing with an assault case filed against his client. The referring attorney was unfamiliar with New York City Criminal Courts, so he hired the Law Office of Edward Carrasco as counsel. Outcome: full dismissal.
From felony sale to a disorderly conduct, which is a violation and not a crime, resulting in a $120 fine. For assistance with these legal matters, consider reaching out to Carrasco Law Office.
Our client was arrested for violating an order of protection and was charged with a felony. After our office investigated our client's case, we were able to convince the ADA to drop the charges even though the complainant was insisting that our client be prosecuted.
Our client's tenant accused them of burglary. After our investigation, all charges were dismissed.
