LOS ANGELES and ORANGE COUNTY – Reed Smith, a leading global law firm, announced today that firm lawyers Daniel Ahn and Allison Kahn obtained a decision by California state prosecutors to not file criminal charges against a high-profile client who was the target of a year-long criminal investigation.
While investigators initially recommended the filing of criminal charges, Ahn and Kahn, through early engagement with law enforcement and multiple detailed presentations, successfully convinced California-based district attorneys that they should forgo all charges against the firm’s client.
“We were able to demonstrate to the DA’s office that what they had perceived as the key inculpatory evidence was actually exculpatory,” said Ahn. “In every case, attention to detail and a thorough examination of the evidence are critical. Here, that close review allowed us to achieve a complete victory on behalf of our client.”
