State v. Collier

Appellant, while represented by other counsel, pled guilty to several white-collar offenses—including money laundering, forgery, and aggravated theft—stemming from alleged diversion and personal use of hundreds of thousands of dollars belonging to appellant’s employer.  Appellant was sentenced to consecutive maximum sentences.  Emmett joined the case on appeal, drafted the appellate briefs and, with his colleagues at Flannery Georgalis, convinced Ohio’s Eighth District Court of Appeals that the case should be sent back to the trial court for resentencing.
