The Case of Ricky M.
Before hiring Jef Henninger, Esq., Ricky M. hired a different attorney for his firearms possession charge. That attorney told him that there was no way to get out of going to prison. Ricky then hired Jef who took the case to trial. The jury acquitted him of two charges and hung on the third charge. A plea was later worked out that kept him out of prison. Ricky kept his job and his life goes on as normal. While every case is different, this case just shows what may be possible when a lawyer fights for the client!
