Attorney Lee Berlin’s Litigation of Client’s Child Sexual Abuse Charges Over Two Years Results in a Suspension of His Sentence
This case was the definition of “high conflict litigation” that spanned over two years. The case was set for jury trial several times. There were multiple motion hearings, as well as a highly contentious preliminary hearing.
After continuous and deliberate efforts to position the client’s case into a winning posture, the DA’s office finally gave in and offered my client plea terms that he decided he could not refuse. Initially, and for the first six months, the DA’s office insisted no plea offer would be given. For about 18 months after that, the DA’s plea offer was for 25 years in prison, the minimum sentence. In the end, the DA agreed to suspend the entire sentence and not require my client to spend a single day in prison.
