All counts: dismissed after one day in court. That’s the result of criminal defense attorney Demosthenes Lorandos’ most recent defense of a falsely accused man.
March 14, 2007 (Press Release) --
The defendant: an Ohio dentist. The charges: sexually touching female patients under sedation. The stakes: high. All counts: dismissed after one day in court. That’s the result of criminal defense attorney Demosthenes Lorandos’ most recent defense of a falsely accused man – and it’s just one of a long list of successes for his experienced legal team, which specializes in vanquishing the victims of false accusations.
The defendant was accused of molesting women under IV sedation by four former employees and charged by local police and a state prosecutor. After being turned down by the best local defense lawyer, the dentist turned to Lorandos, who accepted the challenge and undertook an extensive investigation of the charges. “The odds definitely seemed stacked against us,” said Lorandos, who specializes in the defense of clients who have been falsely accused of physical or sexual abuse. “The client had been smeared throughout the press. He lives in a blue state, but has been a guest of the White House and President Bush. On top of all that, he’s Muslim. I knew it would take a good deal of aggression and perseverance to prevail.”
Lorandos’ hard-line investigation entailed a year of interviews, evidence-gathering and defense plans. The legal team managed to conduct thorough background checks of the four accusers and chase a friendly witness through three states. But the investigation – which included hundreds of pages of interview transcripts and intensive detective work – was only the beginning. After concluding the investigation, Lorandos launched an aggressive pre-trial motion plan designed to deluge the prosecution, including a motion in limine seeking to bar any testimony from former employees as to “Phantom Victims” who were not identified in court.
Demosthenes Lorandos’ psychology experience proved helpful when he attacked the “personal knowledge” standard of the case, challenging the memories of the accusers. A series of civil cases against the defendant were used to launch a ruthless deposition campaign. And it worked – after obtaining charge-crushing testimony from the dentist’s patients and accusers, the prosecutor actually helped Lorandos uncover the source of the false accusations – a rival dental firm.
After one day in court, all charges were dropped by the prosecution. Next up: a federal case exposing the conspiracy to falsely convict Lorandos’ victorious client. “We’re extremely happy with this verdict,” says Lorandos. “It just goes to show that our aggressive reputation has been well-earned.”
