Real Client Stories: Attorney Charles Gerlach Of Gerlach Law

Probation Violation – Prison Avoided

Our client faced a significant challenge after failing a required polygraph test during probation and taking full responsibility for his setbacks. Despite his efforts to maintain sobriety, secure stable employment, cooperate with his probation officer, and enroll in a new treatment program, the prosecution sought to revoke his probation and send him to prison.

Attorney Charles Gerlach presented compelling arguments to the court, emphasizing our client’s progress, accountability, and commitment to rehabilitation. After a contested hearing, the judge agreed with our position: although the violations were found to be proven, incarceration was not necessary to protect public safety. Instead, the judge restructured our client’s probation, giving him another chance to succeed in the community.

School Bus Arm Violation – Case Dismissed

In another case, Gerlach Law represented a client accused of a school bus arm violation. Through careful review and negotiation, we demonstrated that our client was not the driver at the time of the incident and had no involvement in the violation. As a result, the prosecutor dismissed the case at arraignment.
