Fred Acosta and his team defended me in my multi-count, aggravated, felony domestic violence case resulting in a verdict of guilty on a single misdemeanor battery with six month conditional discharge. This outcome allowed me to keep my job and continue to support my wife and children. Fred and his office treated me with remarkable courtesy and respect. And, Fred's courtroom and professional demeanor were always impeccable. It was apparent to me from the start that Fred had expert knowledge on the workings of our local courts as well as the laws applicable to my case.

I highly recommend Fred to anyone looking for expert, dilligent, as well as compassionate representation in any criminal matter where their future and that of their loved ones is in jeopardy.



Aggravated Resisting Arrest Class 4
The Defendant was arrested after he refused to exit the vehicle when ordered by the police. He was the passenger and did not feel that it was right for the police to ask him to exit. The defendant allegedly made a furtive movement and caused the officer to break the window and drag him out of the vehicle thru the window. The action by the police officer to take the defendant out of the vehicle injured the officers arms with lacerations from the glass. He is charged with a felony offense.
The defendant hires Mr. Acosta and Mr. Acosta sets the case for trial. At trial the judge agrees with the defense. The defendants action were not the proximate cause of the injuries. The judge does find the defendant guilty of a misdemeanor resisting for not exiting the vehicle when ordered - NOT GUILTY!!
