Criminal Defense Victory: Misuse of 911 Charge Dismissed in St. Lucie County

At Stone & Capobianco, we recently achieved a complete dismissal for a client facing a misdemeanor charge of Misuse of 911 in State of Florida v. J.D.H. This case demonstrates how the right legal representation can make all the difference in protecting your future.

The Case Background

Our client, Mr. H., was charged in St. Lucie County with a misdemeanor offense that carried the potential for fines, probation, and a lasting criminal record. Initially, he was represented by the Public Defender’s Office for nearly a year before choosing to retain Attorney Jerome A. Stone, Jr. on January 2, 2024.

Taking Over the Case

Once our firm was retained, Attorney Stone and the criminal defense team assumed full responsibility for all hearings and court appearances. This relieved the client of the stress and burden of appearing in court while ensuring every aspect of the case was carefully managed.

The Defense Strategy & Outcome

Through skilled negotiations with the State Attorney’s Office, Attorney Stone successfully advocated for the dismissal of the case. On July 24, 2024, the prosecution filed a Nolle Prosequi, formally dropping the charge and closing the matter in its entirety.

Why This Result Matters

This outcome protected our client from:

  • A misdemeanor conviction on his record

  • Possible penalties and restrictions

  • Negative impacts on his employment and future opportunities

By securing a full dismissal, our client was able to move forward with his life and future goals without the weight of a criminal conviction.
