A client of criminal lawyer Daniel Garcia had entered a store to purchase phones with fake documents. The manager detected the fraud and contacted the police who arrested our client. The client was charged with attempted fraud (art. 380(1) b) (ii) Criminal Code), identity theft (or technically: possession of information about another person to commit a criminal act) (art. 402.2(1)(5)b) Criminal Code) and possession and use of counterfeit documents (368(1) a) (1.1) b) Criminal Code).
Daniel was able to negotiate a joint submission for a conditional discharge with a 2-year probation period, 18 months of which included 75 hours of community service. The judge found this sentence lenient, but Daniel pleaded at length and addressed several of the judge’s concerns to ensure that the suggestion was accepted, which ultimately happened.
Not all of Daniel Garcia’s clients receive absolution. See notice.
