Prostitution Charges Dropped

Chicago criminal defense attorney, John Ioakimidis, won a dismissal of a prostitution charge and related traffic offenses after a hearing pursuant to a Motion to Quash Arrest and the courthouse at Grand and Central.

Chicago criminal defense attorney, John Ioakimidis argued that the police did not have probable cause to arrest his client. After John Ioakimidis cross examined the arresting officer, the judge agreed with John Ioakimidis and the case was dismissed. The prosecutor wanted a conviction because the client was on probation for a felony.

A few days later, Chicago criminal defense attorney, John Ioakimidis, negotiated the dismissal of the same client's other pending prostitution case.

After a few days, the Violation of Probation was dismissed. Three dismissals in about 45 days! Needless to say, this was a very satisfied client.

Drug Possession Charges Dismissed at Preliminary Hearing

Chicago criminal defense attorney, James Dimeas, obtained a dismissal of all felony drug possession charges at a preliminary hearing held at Harrison and Kedzie. The police officer that arrested Chicago criminal defense attorney, James Dimeas's client testified that he was patroling a "high narcotics area" when he observed the client engage in what the officer described as a "hand to hand transaction." The officer exited his vehicle and approached the client. As he approached the client he saw the client place an item in his mouth. The officer restrained the client and removed the object from his mouth. The item recovered from the client's mouth contained illegal drugs. Under cross examination by Chicago criminal defense attorney, James Dimeas, the police officer admitted that he did not observe the client hand anything to the other individual nor did he observe the other individual hand anything to the other individual. Chicago criminal defense attorney James Dimeas argued that the officer lacked any "specific articulable facts" to support probable cause to even approach the client and detain him for the purposes of retrieving the object from his mouth. The Court agreed with Chicago criminal attorney, James Dimeas, and dismissed the drug charges against the client.
