When Gabriel came to Lawrence Law Firm he had been charged with two counts of Domestic Abuse Battery involving strangulation and child endangerment, simple burglary, and Theft of a Motor Vehicle with a value over $25,000.00. These were 4 serious felonies and Gabriel already had a lengthy criminal history. The prosecutor's offer, at the time Mr. Lawrence became involved, was a total of 10 years hard labor and upon his release 8 more years were suspended while serving 6 years on probation.

Aaron spoke with Gabriel and got to understand his family situation, helped him get into anger management and substance abuse classes, all the while keeping a job and paying his family obligations. Eventually, the prosecutor, based on Gabriel's progress submitted to a plea deal requiring no jail time from Gabriel.
