Case Dropped

January 9, 2020

Unlicensed Contracting

After a long battle with the State Attorneys Office and extensive mitigation in 19-CMXXXX05, we were successful in achieving a Nolle Prosse on January 9, 2020, ensuring our client’s record and reputation remained clear. We provided extensive documentation to show our client was indeed a licensed contractor in a county other than Hillsborough and had a stellar reputation in the area. Despite the fact that he was not licensed in Hillsborough, he had a license in a neighboring county. We sent numerous letters to the State and were rejected each time in our quest for a Nolle Prosse. Finally, after our fourth attempt, and four months later, we got the result we were hoping for. Rather than caving and accepting a diversion program, our client’s case was dropped outright on the merits.

Unlawful Acts in Capacity of a Contractor and Practicing Electric Contracting Without Being Licensed Dropped in Tampa, Florida

On May 10, 2018, in case number 17-CM-013XXX, all charges were Nolle Prossed (dropped) in front of the Honorable Scott Farr in Division C, in Hillsborough County. When our client retained, he was facing jail time. In addition, he was at risk of violating probation in another matter. We were able to present enough mitigation to the prosecutor to show he was completely innocent. After many months of presenting evidence to show he was not guilty of acting as a contractor without a license, the State ultimately dropped charges.

“The experience I had with Sammis Law firm in May 2022 was exceptional. I was contacted by Joshua M and he was the absolute best at his job and very professional. He kept me informed every step of the way with my case, and he worked hard in getting my charges of domestic assault dismissed. Thank you Joshua and Sammis Law Firm. Their paralegal Danielle was also very amazing.”
