Summary

A hardworking Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport employee faced theft charges after a misunderstanding with a co-worker resulted in a lost wallet being found in her purse. Through diligent legal representation and compelling defenses, the charges were ultimately dropped, allowing the client to move forward without the burden of a criminal record.

Facts of the Case

The client, a supervisor in the lost luggage department at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, found a lost wallet during her shift. Following protocol, she promptly reported the lost wallet over her radio to the appropriate authorities and placed it in safekeeping until it could be handed over. Before the handover, a co-worker asked the client to accompany her to the bathroom. To the client’s surprise, the co-worker had the wallet in her possession, which allegedly contained $5,000. The co-worker placed the wallet in her own bag to avoid detection by security cameras. Unaware of this, the client continued her shift. After their shift, the client offered her co-worker a ride home, not knowing the wallet was still in her co-worker’s possession. Subsequently, a police officer contacted the client about the wallet, and she was arrested for theft and taken into custody. Her husband was able to post bail to secure her release.

Process and Result

The client’s husband contacted Rossen Law Firm, where attorney Krista Richman took on the case. Krista worked diligently to alleviate the client’s concerns and address the serious charges she was facing. During their discussions, Krista uncovered key facts that strongly supported the client’s innocence. It became clear that the client had no knowledge of her co-worker taking the wallet home and had zero intention of stealing it. Her immediate action to report the lost wallet and alert the authorities demonstrated her lack of intent to commit any theft.

Krista crafted a robust defense strategy, emphasizing the client’s prompt reporting of the wallet and her ignorance of her co-worker’s actions. She highlighted the client’s consistent adherence to airport protocol and her cooperative behavior throughout the incident. Krista also pointed out that the client’s offer to drive her co-worker home was a kind gesture with no knowledge of the stolen wallet’s presence.

Final Result

Thanks to Krista’s thorough investigation and strategic defense, the theft charges against the client were dropped. Krista effectively demonstrated the lack of intent and knowledge on the client’s part, convincing the prosecutors to dismiss the case. This favorable outcome alleviated the client’s stress and fear, allowing her and her husband to put the entire ordeal behind them.

The dismissal of charges not only cleared the client’s name but also preserved her professional reputation and career. This case underscores the importance of having a dedicated and skilled legal team capable of navigating complex misunderstandings and achieving justice for their clients. Krista’s ability to listen, understand, and strategically defend her client was instrumental in achieving this positive resolution, highlighting the critical role of expert legal representation in safeguarding one’s future and reputation.

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!!!

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.
