Wallin & Klarich defense attorney, David R. Cohn, helped his client to avoid decades in federal prison and custody time after being charged with conspiracy to launder drug money according to court documents. The client received probation and community service in lieu of jail and custody time (18 USC 1956(h), 18 USC 1957).
“This is an amazing feat in lawyering”, claimed Mr. Cohn. “My client has moved on to bigger and better things, including her own business in San Francisco and furthered education, which would have been lost with any custody time.”
According to court record from Southern District of California – US District Court, attorney David R. Cohn used his expertise to prove that his client was a good person undeserving of such a harsh sentence. He introduced key evidence to show that the client was manipulated physically, mentally, and emotionally by her boyfriend at the time of the crime. Mr. Cohn persuaded the court that the client had attempted to remove herself from the marijuana distribution operation for some time, but was unable to as a result of the manipulation. He also arranged for his client to cooperate with the government by providing critical information about the boyfriend’s involvement in the marijuana ring. The client avoided decades of federal prison and custody time by agreeing to 3 years of probation and 500 hours of community service.
Mr. Cohn’s commitment to defending his client’s right allowed her to avoid a life-altering sentence and to move forward with her business and education according to court record.
