Mike’s client was charged with violating a city ordinance for failing to conduct background checks on his tenants. Mike worked closely with his client to gather information regarding the steps he had taken to assure the tenants were proper to rent within the city, argued to the prosecutor that his client had remedied the problem, and because Mike’s client had a completely clean record, Mike convinced the prosecutor that further prosecution of his client was not warranted. Accordingly, the prosecutor agreed to continue the charges for one year, at which time they will be dismissed.
This type of resolution prevented Mike’s client from having a criminal record as a result of the incident and this disposition will allow Mike’s client to have the records sealed once the charges are dismissed.
