The lawyers at Bailey& Orozco appear frequently in the Union County Superior Court, vigorously defending the rights of our clients. Listed below are the facts and outcome of one of our actual cases in which we represented our client in this Court.

State of New Jersey v. AP

Outcome: 1^st Degree Leader of Drug Trafficking Network Reduced to 3rd Degree, with time served sentence; and, No Deportation

Description: The client (who was not a US citizen) was charged in a multiple-defendant case with numerous charges, most importantly with being a Leader of a Narcotic Trafficking Network. This crime alone exposed the client to a sentence of Life with 25 years of parole ineligibility; and, then automatic deportation. The principal evidence against the client was a wiretap used to seize the client's phone calls. Based upon legal arguments during Motion practice, we convinced the State to offer the Client a plea to 3rd degree Money Laundering, with all other charges being dismissed. The plea allowed the client to be released immediately with a sentence recommendation of time-served. The plea also allowed the client to remain in the US, as it did not constitute grounds for automatic deportation.
