When his client was recently charged with possession of heroin, attorney Silver knew the outlook was bleak since this offense was being considered a felony because of a prior strike. With a maximum of eight years in prison hanging over his client’s head, attorney Silver filed a Romero motion to have his previous strike offense removed. This proved successful.

In the end, a serious blemish was removed and no new charges would be added.
