Leaving the Scene of an AccidentThe Results
The Client was driving on his way home from a night out when an animal ran in front of his vehicle. The Client swerved to miss the animal and as a result hit a utility pole. The collision caused significant damage to his truck and the pole. The power to the entire area was knocked out as a result. The Client then backed up his vehicle to see the damage and proceeded to park his vehicle alongside the road as his home was very close. Bystanders that witnessed the accident claimed that he was trying to flee the scene. Law enforcement arrived and charged him with leaving the scene of an accident. The Firm argued that the Client lived very close so it wasn’t logical that he was trying to flee. In addition the Client’s vehicle was so badly damaged that it wasn’t possible for him to flee. The firm also argued that the extensive damage that the Client caused to the utility pole would have to be handled in a civil matter and not in a criminal restitution hearing as the damage was not the result of criminal activity. The State eventually agreed and dismissed all charges.

Case #: 20#############
Charge
DUIThe Results
The Client was stopped while driving his scooter because he was weaving and failed to stop for a red light. Once stopped it appeared to the Officer that the Client had been drinking because he had an odor of alcohol, had slurred speech and was unsteady on his feet. The Client admitted drinking and to using various drugs. The Client asked to simply park the scooter and go on his way. The Officer initiated a DUI investigation and subsequently arrested the Client for DUI. At the jail the Client refused to provide a breath sample. The Firm investigated the case and discovered that the Client, who was a person of advanced age, had several medical conditions that could contribute to the belief that he was impaired by alcohol, when in fact he was actually simply disabled. The Firm expressed this opinion to the State Attorney in the matter, who was reluctant to drop the DUI as the Client had a previous DUI in another State. However, after months of negotiations the State agreed to dismiss the DUI
