*NOTE: The below should not be construed as a promise or guarantee of similar results. Results will vary depending on the particular facts and legal circumstances of each individual case.
State v. A.P. – Client was charged with felony drug possession, resisting arrest, obstruction, operating a motor vehicle with a suspended license, and related disorderly persons offenses. Client was detained in jail pending resolution of the case. Ms. Denholtz got client linked to a long-term substance abuse program and filed a Motion to Re-Open Detention, arguing client should be released to treatment while her case was pending. The Court granted Ms. Denholtz’s application and the client was transported from the jail to a long-term inpatient treatment program for substance abuse. Ms. Denholtz ultimately secured a dismissal of all felony charges and the remaining disorderly persons offenses remanded down to municipal court.
State v. H.C. – 49-year-old client with no prior criminal history was charged with 2nd degree aggravated assault by strangulation. Based on the evidence, it was clear that the alleged victim was the aggressor and H.C. merely placed his hands on her to get her off of him. Ms. Denholtz had an investigator interview the alleged victim, who subsequently changed her story to state that H.C. did not intentionally harm her and that she wanted the charges dismissed. After showing the prosecutor that the alleged victim changed her story, she was no longer a credible witness for the State. Based on this investigation, the felony strangulation charge was dismissed and the case was remanded down to municipal court.
State v. C.K. - Client was charged with various drug offenses for alleged illegal possession of Xanax and Adderall. Ms. Denholtz conducted an investigation and showed the prosecutor that the client had a valid prescription for both of the substances. As such, the felonies were dismissed and her DP offenses for possession of marijuana were remanded to municipal court.

Ms. Denholtz ultimately got client’s felony charges dismissed and the remaining disorderly persons offenses remanded down to municipal court.
State v. V.S. – 27-year-old client was charged with illegal possession of heroin and suboxone. Ms. Denholtz successfully showed the prosecutor that there were significant "chain of custody" issues with the alleged drugs in the case. The State's initial plea offer was 3 years in New Jersey State Prison. After Ms. Denholtz's investigation into the weaknesses of the State's case, the State dismissed all of the felony charges against the Client and remanded the case down to municipal court.
