The County of Los Angeles recently gave an award to attorney Tracy Green for efforts above and beyond in a two strikes criminal case involving a young adult who was developmentally disabled and was facing revocation of felony probation with state prison time and a second criminal case where the best offer had been 7 years' state prison with a second strike. Ms. Green spent a year on the case, announced ready for trial, and was able to obtain reinstatement of probation, dismissal of the strike, and probation on the new case.
The result in the case was also due to presenting a vigorous defense and mitigation package to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office which was willing to work in this case and being before an excellent judge in the Los Angeles County Superior Court. It takes a great deal of work and coordination in cases involving criminal defendants who are developmentally disabled.
