Verdicts / Settlements (Case Results):
- CHARGES: 2 COUNTS OF SEXUAL BATTERY ON A MINOR AND 4 CHARGES OF L&L ON A MINOR IN TWO SEPARATE CASES (FACING MULTIPLE LIFE TERMS IN PRISON) CASE # F23-3369 & F23-3370 FACTS: Well known successful artist with no criminal history was accused by two of his daughter’s childhood friends of sexually assaulting them multiple times over 15 years prior to reporting the allegations to police. As a result of the arrest, he was held without a bond in jail until Attorney Brett Schwartz was retained and was quickly able to get him out of custody and on house arrest. RESULT: Over the course of almost a year, Attorney Brett Schwartz analyzed the states evidence and took the depositions of the alleged victims. He was able to convince the fourth prosecutor assigned to the case that the alleged victims lacked credibility based on significant inconsistencies in their testimony. As a result, all of the sexual offenses were dismissed and the client ultimately plead to one count of a much lesser charge, which allowed him to resume his normal life with his family, 2023
- CHARGES: 2 COUNTS OF AGGRAVATED ASSAULT WITH A FIREARM (FACING 10 YEARS IN PRISON) CASE # F23-3175 FACTS: I took over this case from a “High Profile” attorney after the clients mother from out of state called out of desperation because the attorney wasn’t doing what was necessary to help her son with his case. The original attorneys representation resulted in the client being found incompetent and sent off to a long term treatment facility for “stabilization” for well over eight months. The facility continuously pumped the client with drugs for months until Attorney Brett Schwartz took over the case. RESULT: Mr. Schwartz almost immediately had the client re-evaluated by a private psychologist where he was found competent to proceed allowing the case to be quickly resolved and the client to go home with his family, 2023
