Case Results

Our client was charged with possession of a controlled substance after police found a narcotic pain pill in the center console of a car he was driving. The case proceeded to a jury trial and Attorney Mayer successfully established that several people had access to the vehicle and its center console. After deliberating for less than 30 minutes, the jury acquitted our client of all charges.

Our client was charged with a high test OVI after his breath test was more than three times the legal limit. Attorney Mayer filed a motion to suppress evidence arguing that officers lacked reasonable suspicion to stop our client's vehicle. After holding a suppression hearing, the trial court denied the motion to suppress and found that reasonable suspicion existed. Attorney Mayer appealed the decision of the trial court and won. The court of appeals reversed the trial court and held that officers lacked any legal basis to stop our client. The charges against our client were dismissed.

Our client was charged with assault. The evidence against her included an alleged confession that was obtained without proper Miranda warnings. Attorney Mayer filed a motion to suppress statements and cross-examined the officers at a suppression hearing. The trial court agreed that any statements made by our client were illegally obtained. All charges were ultimately dismissed.

Our client was charged with unlawful sexual conduct with a minor. The case was tried to a jury and Attorney Mayer was able to poke holes in the State's case and call into question the credibility of the accuser. The client, who had never been in any prior trouble, was acquitted of all charges against him. He was able to maintain a clean record, avoid being labeled a sex offender, and continue his career in the military.

Our client, a young father engaged in a custody dispute, was charged with several counts of rape involving his minor children. The client faced life in prison if convicted. After months of defense investigation and countless hours spent preparing for trial, the case proceeded to a jury trial where Attorney Mayer picked apart the state's case and zealously cross-examined the mother of the children who had an obvious agenda. Our client was vindicated and acquitted outright of all charges against him.

In a highly publicized media case, our client was charged with rape that allegedly occurred in a movie theatre. Attorney Mayer immediately went to work on the case and cross-examined the victim during a preliminary hearing. The hearing was covered by local press who ran a story stating that Attorney Mayer "shredded" the accuser's story during cross-examination. Once facing a felony of the first degree, our client ultimately pled guilty to a minor misdemeanor disorderly conduct and paid a fine. The case has since been expunged.

Our client was charged with unlawful sexual conduct with a minor. After charges were filed, the State determined that it lacked venue in the county were the charges were brought and dismissed them. The charges were then refiled in a neighboring county. Attorney Mayer filed a motion to dismiss on the basis that the speedy trial time had run while the state was figuring out where to charge our client. All charges were dismissed, including any requirement to register as a sex offender.

Our client was charged with and facing life in prison for Aggravated Murder, Robbery and Weapon Under Disability stemming from a homicide that occurred at a drug house. After several months of ongoing negotiations, the state dismissed the Aggravated Murder charge and our client pled guilty to robbery. Once facing life without parole, our client was sentenced to 9 years in prison with credit for the time he served awaiting trial.

Our client was charged with aggravated vehicular homicide after causing an accident on the freeway. Attorney Mayer tried the case to a jury along with co-counsel Bradley Koffel. The State argued that our client was intoxicated and that alcohol was the cause of the crash. Attorneys Mayer and Koffel successfully established that a medical condition and not alcohol was the primary cause of the accident. The jury acquitted our client of the more serious aggravated vehicular homicide charge, which carried a mandatory prison sentence of up to eight years. Instead, the client served only six months in prison despite having a blood-alcohol level that was nearly twice the legal limit.
