Case Results
1st Degree
Felony DUI
Client stopped for rear-ending another occupied vehicle causing injury, leaving the scene, refusing to take the Intoxilyzer test and being uncooperative with police.
Sentence: No jail time, fine of $200.00, attend DUI education class, 3-year administrative probation
Felony Charge
Client receives a check from a friend that she is skeptical about but cashes anyway. Check was stolen and once cashed by client became a crime despite no involvement in the obtaining of the check.
Sentence: Continue for Dismissal, vacate and dismiss after 1 year; no jail time, Diversion Fee, no restitution
Assault On Officer
The client was drinking heavily and was involved with police and ultimately spit at officers and was disorderly.
Sentence: Stay of Adjudication for 3 Years, Dismiss case if follows conditions of probation, $50 fine, 30 hours Community Work Service, No same or similar, remain law abiding
$1.2M Settlement
Our client in this case was a young girl who was a passenger in a car that was broadsided at high speed at an intersection by a driver who blew the red light. However, this driver had very low insurance limits. Because a product defect contributed to her injury, we were able to obtain a settlement for her for over one
million dollars.
$2.85M Settlement
Our client was injured in a motor vehicle accident with another vehicle that failed to yield to him. The insurance company argued that he had healed so well that no one could even tell he was brain injured, but we were able to show that his injury, while hidden, in fact, had a profound effect on his life.
