Another Success for Berg & Associates!

06/10/2015

Recently a client retained us who was stopped for a traffic violation while they were transporting a couple of pounds of marijuana, which was discovered by law enforcement during the stop. Our offices were able to get all their charges and case dismissed in court. If you or someone you know has been arrested for similar crimes, give our offices a call today at (530) 223-5100 to set up a free evaluation!

Another Success for Berg & Associates!

06/09/2015

Before retaining us, our client had a number of pending cases, and some matters being investigated by law enforcement. They took a plea bargain in which they plead guilty to three of their pending cases, with the understanding that the rest of their pending cases would be dismissed and any un-filed cases would not be filed. Shortly after entering this agreement, the DA’s office filed charges related to an investigation that began before they entered the agreement. We successfully argued that the DA’s office breached the plea agreement, and had the plea agreement enforced – meaning the new case was dismissed. If you or someone you know is in need of an attorney, give us a call today at (530) 223-5100 to set up a free evaluation!

False accusation, case

04/03/2012
False accusation, rights violation: About a month ago, Berg & Associates represented a man accused of a felony for giving two pounds of pot butter to a friend. The authorities lied in the police report and claimed that the man accused had confessed to the crime. Mr. Berg demanded an actual copy of the tape recording of his clients statements. When Mr. Berg finally got that tape recording, it showed that the officer lied in his report about the confession. The tape also showed that the officer never read the accused his miranda rights and interviewed him even after he had demanded an attorney. For these reasons, Mr. Berg filed a motion to suppress the evidence against his client and the prosecutor promptly dismissed the case.
