United States v. Confidential 872

Firm Case Number: 2012-FD-872
Food Stamp Fraud, Wire Fraud
34 months (lower than guideline)
Federal Court, Chicago

Mr. K had a small grocery store on the west-side of Chicago that accepted LINK cards. Mr. K would illegally let people take cash off their LINK card. Mr. K would charge $100 to their LINK card, give the person $30 and keep $70. This was recorded by the government with undercover cameras and recorded by Mr. K in journals kept in store. Mr. K made over $900,000.00 worth of fraudulent charges to LINK cards. His sentencing guidelines showed that he should have gone to prison for between 46 and 57 months. I presented mitigation to the judge to get a lower than guideline sentence.

Police Messed Up Drug Investigation 851

Case Number: 2012-26-851
Delivery of a Controlled Substance w/1000 feet
NOT GUILTY
26th & California, Chicago

Chicago Police officers claimed that they saw Mr. D make two hand to hand drug transactions within 1000 feet of Crown Elementary School. At trial I subpoenaed three neighbors who were outside and saw Mr. D just before he was arrested. They testified that Mr. D had not sold drugs and that there was another person on the block who was similarly dressed. The police had to admitted that they let that other person go before the investigation was finished. I showed the court that the police lied and then messed up the investigation. Finding of Not Guilty.
