Case results

1. Calaveras County

   Felony DUI with great bodily injury

   Resolved with community service and no jail time

   The client was charged with two counts of felony DUI, with enhancements for inflicting great bodily injury on her passenger, who sustained life-threatening injuries. The District Attorney agreed to no initial state prison but wanted the client to serve 180 days of actual time in the county jail.

   At a contested sentencing hearing, the court agreed with Eric Hintz that actual jail time was not necessary and sentenced the client to community service hours.

2. Sacramento County

   Two pending DUI cases

   Both cases dismissed

   The client had two separate DUI cases pending at the same time. Eric Hintz got the District Attorney to dismiss both cases in the interests of justice.

3. Sacramento County

   Three felonies, including felony DUI causing injury

   Misdemeanor plea and no jail time

   The client was charged with three felonies, including two counts of felony DUI causing injury to multiple victims and felony child endangerment.

   Eric Hintz negotiated a plea bargain with the court, over the objection of the District Attorney, that resulted in a misdemeanor resolution and no actual jail time for the client, which saved his employment.

4. Amador County Superior Court

   Felony assault and battery with great bodily injury

   Not guilty on all counts after trial

5. Siskiyou County

   Three counts of felony sexual assault

   Probation, no state prison and one day of jail

   The client was charged with three counts of felony sexual assault and was facing presumptive state prison if convicted after trial.

   Eric Hintz negotiated a plea bargain with the District Attorney that included a promise of probation, no initial state prison, and a one-day county jail sentence for which the client was given credit for time served.

Every case is different. Past results do not guarantee a similar outcome in any other matter.
