case dismissed

This is my story about what I experienced in the criminal justice system.

First of all, you should know that I am a veteran and am presently attending college. One afternoon I did something stupid and my friend and I ended up being arrested and charged with a crime. Since I absolutely did not want to have anything on my criminal record, I did substantial research on the internet and found a criminal defense attorney in Placer County named Dan Koukol. After meeting him, I decided to hire him to defend me.

I was impressed with how easy it was to contact Mr. Koukol and he met with me almost immediately. At our meeting, he and I formed a plan which was designed to give him the ammunition he needed to get the judge to dismiss the case against me. 

Over the next two months I attended some voluntary counseling and kept precise records of everything I was doing in this regard. When I was finished, I turned the records over to Dan and he was able to get my case dismissed. The plan we came up together was obviously the right approach, especially because my co-defendant, (who did exactly the same thing as I did), ended up with a conviction on his record. He did not have Dan Koukol as his attorney.

I can not overstate how important it was to me to get this case dismissed. Having a conviction on my record would have jeopardized my future. Getting my case dismissed was exactly what I wanted from a defense attorney and Dan Koukol was able to pull it off. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs an attorney.
