Successful Case Results
Dismissed – Triple Robbery Case.
Client was arrested at a luxury health food market in Santa Monica after he was accused of
robbery. He was charged with three counts of felony robbery, each count is a serious and
violent felony strike which would carry life long consequences for a young man with no
criminal record. Our client was aggressively prosecuted by the DA at LAX court. Our staff
conducted a thorough investigation and gathered extensive mitigation information and
exculpatory evidence that was presented to the DA supervisor who eventually agreed to
dismiss the case entirely. The client and his family were very grateful and most pleased with
the result.
Dismissed – DUI Case.
Our young Latino client was driving home from a bar in Redondo Beach. He had a few drinks
but felt fine to drive. He was stopped by two officers after an illegal lane change. He admitted
to drinking and was arrested for DUI. After extensive discussions with the City Prosecutor at
the Inglewood courthouse, the DUI case was dismissed in November 2020 in exchange for a
plea to unsafe lane change, an infraction, no fine. Our client was very pleased and felt
vindicated after being wrongfully arrested
Dismissed – Domestic Violence Case.
Our client and his wife booked a weekend away at a beach resort in South Orange County.
They went out to dinner and after a few drinks the wife began feeling agitated and upset. The
couple soon headed back to their hotel where an argument ensued just outside the hotel
entrance. A bystander called the police and our client was arrested and charged with domestic
violence assault at Harbor Justice center in Newport Beach. Our office conducted extensive
investigations and spoke to witnesses and staff who provided important details that allowed
us to secure an outright dismissal.
Dismissed – Federal White Collar Conspiracy.
Our client was arrested and charged in federal court along with 13 other codefendants. The
felony conspiracy fraud case alleged $10 million in credit fraud and our client was the alleged
ring leader of the operation. The client fired three different skilled federal defense attorneys
before retaining our firm. The LA based Federal US Attorneys already secured a number of
convictions against the other codefendants by the time we were retained. After many months
of aggressive advocacy, defense motions and countless court hearings, the case was
dismissed against our client in its entirety. The result was a huge victory for our client and
our firm.
Dismissed – Domestic Violence Case
Our client was falsely accused of domestic violence by his stepmother. While his father was
away, the stepmother began arguing with our client and started insulting him. She and our
client exchanged words for several minutes before she called the police and fabricated claims
that our client hit her. The police arrived and saw rashes and redness on the stepmother’s
body. When asked about the redness she told them her stepson caused all of them and he
was subsequently arrested and charged with domestic violence assault. After months of
investigation and conversations with the prosecution, our team was able to convince the LA
District Attorney that the case was fabricated and we were able to secure a dismissal for
our client.

Mr. Shawky was very polite, helpful, and down to earth. I felt very comfotable talking with him and he answered all my questions. Thanks, Tarek!
Smart, Kind, and a Winner. Most attorneys come across as either smart jerks who will get you what you want, but you will hate dealing with them, or they are nice but not very good at getting you what you want. Tarek is a rare breed. After explaining my story to him, I felt instantly understood and respected.
Mr. Shawky is a knowledgeable and skilled criminal defense attorney. He truly cares about his clients and makes every effort to get them the best possible result. He is a zealous advocate and has great reputation in the legal community. I endorse this lawyer.
