Criminal Defense & Pre-Arrest Dismissal

Scott Cummins secured the dismissal of felony burglary charges against two clients before they were ever arrested — intervening at the investigative stage and convincing the investigating officer that what appeared to be a criminal act was in fact a personal property dispute.

Through independent investigation and direct negotiations with the officer, Scott reframed the entire nature of the case before it ever reached a prosecutor or courtroom. The charges were dismissed without arrest, without trial, and without a criminal record.

For both clients, Scott’s early intervention made all the difference.
