Attempted Murder of a Police Officer, Aggravated Assault, and Grand Theft Auto Charges Dropped in Miami

Attempted Murder of a Police Officer, Aggravated Assault of a Police Officer, and Grand Theft Auto Charges Dropped in Miami

Outcome of Attempted Murder, Aggravated Assault, and Grand Theft Auto Case:

We were able to plead the case down from the original attempted murder charge to a fleeing and eluding and tempering with evidence criminal charge, which was resolved with a sentence of probation – not life in prison. Now, Chris can continue on with his life and get help after a poor decision he made in the heat of a moment.

Client Concerns Due to Attempted Murder, Aggravated Assault, and Grand Theft Auto Case:

Chris was scared of spending the rest of his life in prison, as attempted murder of a police officer is such a serious charge. Chris was also worried about facing intense consequences after acting in fear without any intent to do harm.

Facts of Attempted Murder, Aggravated Assault, and Grand Theft Auto Case:

Chris had been struggling with a drug addiction when he went to a house in Miami to make a drug purchase. At the same time Chris arrived, the cops were surveilling the house. As he got back in his car after his purchase, the cops surrounded his car and drew their guns. Chris was very scared and made the poor choice in the moment to drive away.

As he drives forward, a cop on the front right side of his car has to jump out of the way and ends up getting hit by the driver’s side mirror. The police start a long police chase following Chris, trying to get him to pull over. Chris was scared and did not know what to do with the drugs, so he threw them out of his window while driving. The cops were able to puncture Chris’ tires, causing his car to spin out and crash. Chris was arrested for the attempted murder of a police officer, aggravated assault of a police officer, fleeing and eluding, grand theft auto, and tampering with evidence.

Defense Strategy for Attempted Murder, Aggravated Assault, and Grand Theft Auto Case:

Chris was referred to Rossen Law Firm and we were hired immediately. Chris was in on a no bond hold due to the attempted murder charge, so we filed a bond motion right away. We were able to convince the judge that Chris deserves a bond and got Chris released from jail.

After reviewing the case, the case filers agreed with us that Chris did not attempt to murder the police officer and dropped that charge. We continued to work on the case and found that all Chris really did was flee and elude the cops. Chris had no intent to hurt or assault the cop (disproving the aggravated assault charge), and he did not know that the car he was driving was stolen (disproving the grand theft auto charge).

I had an unfortunate situation with a family member that lead to my arrest and being charged with DV Battery. This was the first time I had ever been arrested so I was very nervous and afraid of what was going to happen to me. After talking with Adam I decided to retain him and let me tell you this was the BEST decision I could have ever made. Adam made me feel so comfortable and confident that everything will turn out the best in my favor. He is professional, ethical and supportive. He was always available too answer any questions or concerns.Not to mention, his team at the office is awesome they are so friendly and welcoming. Anytime I had a question when I called the office they were able to guide me in the rightdirection. They always were in contact with me with any information or updates regarding my case. Adams team is GREAT!Adam delivered, my case was DISMISSED. So if you want an attorney the is gonna fight for you and get the job done retain the BEST there is Adam Rossen!!!

Adam Rossen and the team at Rossen Law took great care in handling my case. They are very professional, and get the job done. I was particular relieved to see just how much empathy they showed with me, and how effortless it was to be their client.I literally visited them twice. My initial consultation, and then to pickup the final docs. I have nothing but great things to say about these folks, and I would highly recommend them to anyone. Thanks Guys.

I had an amazing experience with The Rossen Law Firm. The staff were very professional. Attorney Susan Lawson went above and beyond working on my case. We were thoroughly prepared for trial. Mrs. Lawson reviewed hours of body and dash camera footage multiple times and aggressively performed depositions on witnesses and law enforcement.The final outcome for me was the state dropped my case, due to the great work Susan and the Rossen team performed. I didn’t even need to go to trial.This law firm does not play around. They pay attention to detail and they FIGHT FOR YOU!Thank you Adam, team, and a special thank you to Susan for your amazing work! I really appreciate you.

My experience with Rossen Law Firm was excellent. From the consultation to the end.. My attorney Susan Lawson gave my son's case all the time and attention that was needed to be successful in court. She was confident during all the court proceedings. My favorite part was when she said we are family, never once my son and I were treated other then that. I very much appreciate the knowledge and support I received through Rossen Law Firm.
