Federal Fraud Violation in Los Angeles
Outcome: NO JAIL TIME - Defendant Avoided a 5 Year Federal Prison Sentence
To Whom it May Concern:
"Sometime back I was charged in Federal Court with impersonating a Red Cross representative. The penalty for that is five (5) years in Federal prison. I almost passed out when my old lawyer told me I was going to be sent to a Federal prison for up to five years. I then hired Vincent Oliver Law as my lawyer and they were able to negotiate a deal for me where I went to a half-way house for 6 months and then came back home on probation. I'll be forever indebted to Vincent Oliver Law for the hard work they put in on my case and I highly recommend them to anyone in trouble with the 'Feds'." - Gina N., July 2015

Major Felonies - Client Testimonials
Felony Possession of a Gun in a Car - Los Angeles
Outcome: NO JAIL TIME. Avoided a 3 year jail sentence.
To Vincent Oliver Law:
"I was driving down the street one day with several friends in Los Angeles when some cops pulled us over, ordered us all out of the car and began a search of the car. I believe I was racially profiled. They found a gun I had in the car for self protection from some gang member who had threatened me in the past. I was arrested and charged with a felony of possession of a gun in a car. When I got to court I was shocked to see that the cops claimed the radio in my car was too loud. The radio in my car didn't even work at the time. They just lied to justify the search and arrest. I was facing a 3 year sentence. I hired Vincent Oliver Law to represent me and he got all of the evidence thrown out as a result of the illegal search and seizure and the case was dismissed. If you need a criminal defense lawyer, call Vincent Oliver Law and you won't be sorry" - Pedro B. , September 2015
