Case Results
Success in a criminal case may be achieved by persuading the government not to bring charges; by obtaining dismissal of charges before trial; by securing an acquittal at trial; by obtaining a reversal on appeal; by negotiating a satisfactory resolution; or by a combination of these outcomes. Among the successful results that Omar has achieved are the following:
Avoided Jail Time
By being persistent and prepared Omar negotiated a plea agreement with the government where his client avoided jail time and instead was sentenced to probation.
Dui Case Dropped
The government dropped a DUI case pending against a defendant after Omar persuaded the judge to grant a motion to suppress; the judge granted the motion even though there were high breath results in the case.
Charges Reduced
Through aggressive advocacy Omar persuaded the government to offer a short jail sentence to a defendant charged with Failure to Register as a Sex Offender; if the defendant was convicted at trial he could have been sentenced to more than 12 years in prison.
Indecent Exposure Charges Dropped
By thoroughly researching the law Omar persuaded the government to completely drop Indecent Exposure charges against a defendant.

Reduced a Marijuana Trafficking Charge
Omar persuaded the government to reduce a marijuana trafficking charge to a lesser charge so that the defendant could go on probation; if the defendant was convicted as originally charged he would have been sentenced to a mandatory three year prison term.
Dropped all Charges
Through aggressive representation including taking depositions and thorough research of the law, Omar persuaded the government to drop all charges against a defendant charged with Burglary of a Dwelling and Assault. Omar continued his aggressive defense of the case even after the government threatened to charge the defendant with a crime punishable by life if he did not plead guilty.
