Proven Results: Kalco Law LLC Criminal Defense Case Studies
Kalco Law LLC believes that a law firm’s success can be measured by the results we obtain for our clients. Our successes in criminal defense cases illustrate our commitment to providing personalized representation, allowing clients to control their destinies, and relentlessly fighting for justice. On this page we provide case studies detailing the approach we pursued as well as the problems our clients faced and the positive results they achieved with our assistance. This highlights our depth of knowledge in criminal law as well as our commitment to see every client through the minefield of the United States legal system.
This case study details how Kalco Law LLC was able to positively influence an individual’s Supplemental Security Income Prior Adversary Effectiveness (PAVE) Review hearing. This PAVE hearing took place due to a finding by a Social Security Administration – Office Inspector General (OIG) audit which discovered a systemic error pertaining to PAVE Reviews.
This case study also describes how Kalco Law LLC participated in a Medical Assistance Appeal hearing on the State level. The client in this case suffered from End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) and had an inpatient length of stay exceeding 120 days for rehabilitation purposes.
Case Study 1: Felony Drug Charges Dropped After Pre-Arrest Intervention
In early 2023, our 27-year-old client, Jessica M., was arrested in Alameda County on felony charges involving drug possession and intent to distribute. She faced several years in prison. Immediately following her arrest, Jessica called Kalco Law LLC and set up a free initial consultation.
We quickly jumped into action, conducting an independent investigation and reviewing the search procedures used by police for constitutional violations. We found that the actual search that led to our client’s arrest was not legally conducted (e.g., without a valid warrant) and evidence was obtained through an illegal search and seizure.
Kalco Law LLC filed the necessary motion to suppress evidence and later argued in court that our client’s Fourth Amendment rights had been violated. The judge agreed; the evidence obtained was ruled inadmissible, and all felony charges were dismissed. Jessica went home and returned to her everyday life without any criminal record. This case outlines how early intervention can have a substantial impact on the result of your case and the need to understand all constitutional protections afforded to you.
Case Study 2: Decreased Charges in White Collar Crime Investigation
In late 2022, a financial analyst, Mark L., came to Kalco Law LLC after he learned he’d been placed on leave from work because of an embezzlement investigation. He was facing charges of grand theft and fraud, which carried significant penalties and the possibility of prison time.
Kalco Law LLC’s attorneys swung into action and prepared a vigorous defense. We reviewed the prosecution’s evidence, interviewed witnesses and engaged forensic accountants to track the money at issue. The findings showed that Mark’s wrongdoing was the result of a mistake and a lack of internal controls rather than intention to commit a crime. We pursued negotiations with the District Attorney’s office to show them our findings and vouch for Mark’s overall character and level of cooperation. Based on these efforts, the prosecutors agreed to downgrade the charges to a misdemeanor level for improper record-keeping. Mark never went to jail, kept his professional license, and returned to work after completing some minor probation requirements. The above case demonstrates excellent results we are capable of producing even in complicated white-collar cases.
Case Study 3: Not Guilty Verdict For Assault and Battery
In 2021, Kalco Law LLC defended local businessman, Carlos R., who faced charges of assault and battery after a fight occurred in the street outside of his store. The case included video evidence and conflicting eyewitness statements that made a difficult case even more complicated. Carlos could have ended up with a conviction on his record that would hurt his reputation and business.
Here at Kalco Law LLC, our attorneys took the time to reconstruct the events at hand with the help of video surveillance, expert testimony, and interviews of neutral parties and eyewitnesses. We proved that Carlos had acted in self-defense after being threatened and physically attacked by the alleged victim.
On examination, our cross-examination revealed the inconsistencies in the prosecution’s version of events, and when we presented other evidence in court, our attorneys were able to convince the jury that Carlos was innocent. Carlos R. was found not guilty on all counts.
Case Study 4: Satisfactory Plea Deal in Juvenile Criminal Case
Maya T., a 16-year-old high school student, was charged with vandalism and theft when she and her friends were caught spray-painting three large cement block walls around her school. The charges posed a serious threat to Maya’s education and future.
Because juvenile law has a different set of considerations than that of an adult defendant, our lawyers assessed the case from multiple angles by working closely not only with Maya and her family, but also with school officials. We pushed back despite an initial prosecutor’s position to penalize Maya as harshly as he possibly could for her mistakes. We put a great deal of emphasis on Maya’s clean record, good academic standing and genuine humility at the proceeding. After a great deal of negotiation, our ending result was a diversion agreement with the prosecutor – which allowed Maya to perform community service and undergo counseling in lieu of prosecution. After completing community service and counseling successfully, all charges against Maya were dismissed and her record was kept clean. This case exemplifies our commitment to second chances and fighting for young people through a focused, individualized approach.
Case Study 5: Positive Outcome in Domestic Violence Case
In 2022, our firm was contacted by Elise P., who had been arrested after a conflict at home. She had been charged with misdemeanor domestic battery, facing criminal charges and possibly adverse immigration consequences. Elise was adamant that she was innocent. She claimed that she had acted in self-defense against her partner during an argument about their relationship. Kalco Law LLC’s attorneys gathered evidence (text messages, medical reports, testimony from neighbors) that was consistent with Elise’s version of events. We secured expert testimony from a psychologist regarding the dynamics in a domestic dispute. After a thorough presentation of our defense, the prosecution dropped all charges prior to trial. Elise was not forced to leave her place of residence or career and did not face adverse immigration action. We pride ourselves on our ability to handle sensitive domestic violence cases with high-profile clients.
