Vacated & Remanded
While represented by other counsel, the client entered "Guilty" pleas to several counts of Rape. After receiving a sentence of 2 years, he retained Attorney Nemecek to represent him in post-conviction proceedings. Attorney Nemecek successfully argued that the client's plea was not knowingly, voluntarily and intelligently entered.
Conviction Vacated
At trial, the client was convicted of several offenses related to the possession and trafficking of illegal narcotics. He was sentenced to serve 7 years in prison. Thereafter, he retained Attorney Nemecek to represent him on the direct appeal.
Penalty Significantly Reduced
Client was under federal investigation for alleged violations of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. The Government initially contended that the total loss amount attributable to the client's conduct was over $20 million which would have resulted in a substantial prison term.
Murder
Former Air Force Security Officer was indicted with Murder after shooting her husband ten times while in their home. Attorneys Friedman and Long presented a self-defense case based upon a theory of Battered Woman Syndrome. After more than two weeks of trial, the jury deadlocked resulting in a mistrial. Our client has been out of jail on bond throughout the entire case.
Case Dismissed
A non-resident physician was charged with two counts of child endangerment after leaving her two children in her vehicle to run errands.

The client avoided any immigration or professional consequences.
No Charges Filed

Full Acquittal
Former police officer was charged with assault for a purported attack on his girlfriend. There were injuries visible to the first responding officers. Our client claimed that he acted in self-defense. Attorney Friedman served as trial counsel. In Ohio, self-defense is an affirmative defense which shifts some burden onto the client.
