NOT GUILTY Verdict in Firearm and Theft Case: Victorious Criminal Defense

In September 2018, the Law Office of Matthew W. Peterson achieved a significant legal victory by securing a NOT GUILTY Verdict in Firearm and Theft Case for a client facing serious charges of illegal firearm possession and theft. Had the client been convicted, they would have faced the possibility of spending decades behind bars.

Successful Outcome

The judge ultimately DISMISSED the firearm charge based on our compelling legal arguments, and the jury concurred, finding our client NOT GUILTY verdict in firearm and theft.
