Case Results

Eric’s client was charged after rear-ending another vehicle on the highway. Eric obtained acquittals on all three charges for his client after conducting a three-day jury trial. Eric’s client has a commercial driver’s license, so avoiding any conviction was important.

Eric’s client had no criminal history and a breath test slightly over the legal limit. Eric sought out and retained breath alcohol, medical, and field sobriety test experts to litigate the matter. Eric litigated the driver’s license revocation matter in a two-day court trial. Unfortunately, the license revocation was sustained. But prior to commencement of the criminal trial, Eric negotiated a stay of adjudication for the DWI charge with a careless driving only as a petty misdemeanor. With a stay of adjudication, this provides Eric’s client an opportunity to keep any DWI criminal conviction off her record.

Eric’s client was accused of drunkenly assaulting his girlfriend while she was driving. After a two-day jury trial, Eric secured Not Guilty verdicts on all three counts.

Eric’s client was accused of appropriating money for personal use from his vulnerable adult mother while acting as power of attorney. Eric launched an investigation to show the mother was not actually a vulnerable adult during the relevant time period. Eric also showed the prosecutor that, in light of information from the investigation, any potential criminal behavior was outside the statute of limitations. Accordingly, the prosecutor agreed and dismissed the case.

Eric successfully argued to the judge, before trial, that his client had a legal right in his home to refuse to speak with officers and to close the door on them. The judge found the State’s charge lacked probable cause, and granted Eric's motion to dismiss.

Eric arranged for his client’s weed-like substance to be retested at another lab, which showed the THC concentration to be that of legal hemp, below the threshold for illegal marijuana.
