Attorney Eric Matheny Secures Not Guilty Verdict for Client Facing Lengthy Prison Term

MIAMI LAKES, Fla., May 30, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Attorney Eric M. Matheny is an experienced South Florida criminal defense lawyer and former prosecutor who has built a reputation for fighting aggressively on behalf of local residents facing criminal charges. Since founding The Law Offices of Eric M. Matheny, P.A., Attorney Matheny has successfully resolved a wide range of cases to protect the freedoms and futures of his clients. In one recent case, Attorney Matheny managed to secure an impressive outcome – a not guilty verdict for a client facing up to 90 years in prison.

The case – Case No. F10-XXXX – was held in Miami-Dade Circuit Court and presided by Judge Milton Hirsch. According to court documents, Mr. Matheny's client was charged with three counts of aggravated assault with a firearm on a law enforcement officer, one count of aggravated battery with a firearm, and one count of resisting an officer without violence. If convicted of all charges, he could have faced up to 90 years in prison, with a 10 year mandatory minimum prison term.

Despite the serious allegations and severe penalties, Attorney Matheny's client opted to take the case to trial. Court documents show that Matheny's careful cross-examination revealed the police officers involved in the incident were less than truthful. As a result of his trial experience and meticulous attention to facts, the jury returned a verdict of not guilty on all counts in less than 20 minutes.

The jury verdict reached in this case speaks volumes about the types of results an experienced criminal defense attorney can secure, especially in complex cases where the stakes are incredibly high. Attorney Matheny's passion for preserving the futures of his clients, as well as his insight gained as a former prosecutor, proved invaluable to his client. "I use my experience as a former prosecutor to provide the best representation to my clients," said Matheny.
