CHARGES: Man was charged with both Domestic Assault and Domestic Disorderly Conduct for allegedly attacking and verbally abusing/threatening his sister.
CASE DETAILS: The incident allegedly occurred at the Defendant’s and Victim’s brother’s home where the children’s elderly and terminally ill mother resides. The matter was passed to trial. Following a devastating cross examination by Attorney Calcagni of the alleged victim, the Court ordered a recess and encouraged the parties to negotiate a resolution. The cross-examination uncovered bias and motives to fabricate on behalf of the alleged victim, as well as prior inconsistent statements made by her. Because of this fact, along with the unfortunate divide the pending matter was causing the family, the Court encouraged a resolution short of a judicial decision. As a result, Attorney Calcagni successfully negotiated for dismissal of the Domestic Assault Charge and amendment of the Domestic Disorderly Conduct charge to straight Disorderly Conduct. Thereafter, the Court chose to file this charge for one year without requesting or accepting a plea from the Defendant. The filing was ordered while allowing the Defendant to maintain his “not guilty” plea. No sentence or punishment was imposed. Providing the Defendant has no adverse contact with law enforcement within the next year, this matter will ultimately be expunged and the Defendant will suffer no criminal conviction or adverse consequences from this event.
RESULT: Domestic Assault - DISMISSED; Domestic Disorderly Conduct reduced to Disorderly Conduct - FILED as NOT GUILTY for 1 Year

Attorney Calcagni Teams Up with Attorney John R. Grasso to Assist Alleged Drug Dealer Avoid Criminal Conviction and Deportation from the United States.
Criminal Defense Attorney Calcagni announces results in recent case where he teamed up with Attorney John R. Grasso to Assist Alleged Drug Dealer Avoid Criminal Conviction and Deportation from the United States. See the case details below. If you have questions on Criminal Defense please call (401) 351-5100 or visit www.CalcagniLaw.com to arrange for a free consultation about your case.
CHARGES: two counts of Possessing a Class B Controlled Substance (Crack and Seroquel); Possession with Intent to Distribute a Class B Controlled Substance; Possession of a Class D Controlled Substance (Marijuana) and Possession with Intent to Distribute a Class D Controlled Substance; and Conspiracy.
CASE DETAILS: Attorneys Calcagni and Grasso have a proven track record of success for teaming up to defend individuals charged with the most serious crimes under the most difficult circumstances. Here, the super defense duo represented a non-U.S. citizen, female who was alleged to have conspired with her boyfriend to conduct a drug dealing operation. Police conducted a long term investigation, that led to the discovery of this operation with the use of confidential informants, surveillance, and controlled drug purchases. Evidence suggested to police that the couple’s operation involved the sale of Crack Cocaine, Seroquel and Marijuana. Police ultimately executed a search warrant upon the couple’s apartment where they discovered the aforementioned drugs in various quantities, multiple cell phones, drug trafficking paraphernalia and a large sum of U.S. currency.
As a result, the female and her boyfriend were both arrested and charged with two counts of Possessing a Class B Controlled Substance (Crack and Seroquel); Possession with Intent to Distribute a Class B Controlled Substance; Possession of a Class D Controlled Substance (Marijuana) and Possession with Intent to Distribute a Class D Controlled Substance; and Conspiracy.
Attorneys Calcagni and Grasso thoroughly investigated the legitimacy of the police investigation, search warrants and discovered evidence. They also worked with the female Defendant to obtain a full biographical history, to include her immigration status, education and employment background, family history, and character references. Following these efforts, Calcagni and Grasso successfully negotiated for the dismissal of nearly all charges, with the exception of marijuana possession. Calcagni and Grasso further negotiated to have this particular charge Continued Without a Finding (CWOF) for 18 months during which time Defendant shall remain on probation. Providing she successfully completes this probationary term, this final charge will also be dismissed in 18 months and the female Defendant will not incur a criminal conviction from this incident. Most importantly, because of the charge (marijuana possession) and limited drug quantity she admitted to, the Defendant also avoids probable immigration consequences of deportation she would have faced had she been convicted of any of the other five drugs offenses with which she was originally charged.
RESULT: All Charged Dismissed except for Marijuana Possession. Further negotiated to have this particular charge Continued Without a Finding (CWOF) for 18 months during which time Defendant shall remain on probation.
