Illegal Financial Transaction Device Charges Dismissed for Man in Detroit

Detroit criminal defense attorney Martin Drias was recently hired to represent a man after a traffic stop in his girlfriend’s car resulted in significant criminal charges. The man was with his girlfriend, but when the police discovered some marijuana along with some false identifications and credit cards in the car, they charged him with several offenses including possession of marijuana and multiple counts of possessing an illegal financial transaction device.

To avoid the aftermath of such serious felony convictions, the man came to the Drias Law Group, who tenaciously argued for this client. Attorney Davis negotiated with the prosecution and asserted that the evidence was insufficient to show that his client was the individual on the ID and the credit cards. Attorney Davis eventually achieved the total dismissal of the financial transaction device charges and facilitated an agreement for his client to plead to a simple misdemeanor for marijuana possession. By choosing capable and experienced counsel, this client obtained an exceptional result and avoided the stiff consequences for felony fraud convictions.

The outcome of an individual case depends on a variety of factors unique to that case. Case results do not guarantee or predict a similar result in any similar or future case.
