Reversal of Fine in Housing Violations

A local religious congregation was convicted of various housing code violations, which ultimately resulted in the imposition of significant financial sanctions. They retained Friedman Nemecek Long & Grant, L.L.C., for representation in post-conviction proceedings. After acquiring a stay of the sentence from the trial court, the FNL team proceeded to challenge the sentence through the direct appeal process. Working collaboratively with civil counsel, the defense was able to obtain a favorable result that relieved the client of their obligation to pay the fines and enabled the organization to continue operating.
