NEGOTIATED PLEAS

Mr. Leunig has successfully negotiated the resolution of hundreds of cases during his years in practice.  He has achieved outright dismissals in Felony, Gross Misdemeanor and Misdemeanor cases, and has received significant reductions in the seriousness of charged offenses and subsequent punishment as the result of his well-honed negotiation skills.

In one recent felony drug case, a client involved in his fourth felony matter who was facing a presumptive multi-year prison sentence received a local jail sentence with eligibility for work release. 

In cases too numerous to list, DWI-related charges have been totally dismissed, pleas being entered to non-alcohol related charges such as careless driving.  Likewise, in cases involving prostitution and lurking, Mr. Leunig has kept these embarrassing charges off his client's records.  In Domestic Assault cases Mr. Leunig has consistently negotiated agreements that keep this serious and embarrassing charge off his client's record.

In another recent case, on the day scheduled for jury trial, Mr. Leunig obtained a continuance for dismissal in a Felony Terroristic Threats case, meaning that as long as the client has no new charges in the next year, the entire case will be dismissed.  Not two weeks later he achieved an outright dismissal of two First Degree Rape charges and a Second Degree Assault charge (involving a gun) against a client who was facing a long prison sentence if convicted.  He pled to a reduced charge and didn't receive a single day in jail.

In sum, Mr. Leunig has established himself as a lawyer who goes to trial in big and small cases and win, and who can successfully negotiate even the most daunting of cases.  His unique blend of poise, persistence, optimism, intelligence and humor, coupled with him reputation for winning at trial gives his client's an edge in an arena where the stakes are huge and the skill and reputation of one's lawyer is paramount.  While he cannot take credit for these famous words, his motto throughout his professional career always has been and always will be, simply:

FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION
