Rancho Palos Verdes Theft Dismissed Lawyer Success # 1
Our client was allegedly witnessed by two Ralph's Supermarket employees being an accomplice to an acquaintance carrying a 24 pack of beer out of the store without paying. Store employees yelled out to our client and his acquaintance, who both jumped into a waiting car and sped away. The Ralph’s employees recorded the license plate and the Lomita Sheriff’s Department arrested our client later that night at a park.
Our client was booked and charged with one count of Penal Code Section 459, attempt to commit theft, a felony. These were devastating charges for our client, who had just graduated high school and dreamed of starting his own business.
Greg Hill inspected the scene of the incident, noting there was a security camera in place. He then demanded a copy of the security camera tape in writing and spoke to Ralph's Loss Prevention unit. Before the police report was written, he lobbied the Lomita Sheriff’s Department about dismissing the charges. Mr. Hill also wrote several letters to the District Attorney’s office in Torrance about the case and its problems. His efforts were successful, as the District Attorney, in conversations with Mr. Hill, agreed the case was weak and agreed to a full dismissal of the entire case at the arraignment.
Had the case proceeded to trial, our client faced a maximum of three years in state prison. Instead, the case was dismissed. Our client can now continue to study to start his own business without any convictions on his record to hold him back.
