Prince George County Felony Perjury REDUCED
Prince George Felony Perjury REDUCED
Our Prince George Criminal Defense Attorneys represented a client who was directly indicted for felony perjury. The incident occurred when our client testified in a prior traffic court case while represented by a different law firm. The truthfulness of some of our client’s testimony under oath became very controversial. The prior attorney did not prepare the client for trial. This was the primary issue of our client’s trial in the Circuit Court after being directly indicted by the prosecutor for perjury. This time our client was prepared for trial. We convinced the Court to find our client not guilty of felony perjury and the case was reduced.
Prince George VA Impersonating a Police Officer
Impersonate Police Officer DISMISSED
This case started with a traffic stop for excessive speed. Our client presented his driver’s license upon request. He additionally presented his Uncle’s police association PBA Card in the hopes of receiving some leniency. The Prince George police officer believed our client was impersonating a police officer by presenting his Uncle’s PBA card. Our attorneys analyzed the case and determined that the police officer did not gather sufficient evidence to prove a police impersonation case. We convinced a normally fierce prosecutor to drop the police impersonation offense. Our client was relieved to put what had become a nightmare behind him by dropping the matter.
