Case Results

My client, a tall woman in her 40s, told me that she came to town to have a few drinks at a bar.  There were major gray areas to the story that she told me, but I put together the pieces.  What I can share with you is this: An accident occurred a few blocks away from the bar in the intersection of a busy street.

A young medical surgeon had graduated and was receiving clinical training and experience when he was stopped on suspicion of DUI in the City of Wayne. He refused the breath test, and police did not seek to draw blood, which is exceedingly rare nowadays. The prosecutor proceeded to trial based exclusively on the driving and the field sobriety tests.  

A nice young man from the area left a note on my car under the windshield wiper one morning. He knew my wife and where I lived, but he didn't have my phone number. He had been charged with drunk driving, and his breath test showed a .15. He was convinced that he was going to have to plead guilty, but it was going to kill his career as a commercial truck driver.

This was one a bit of a nail-biter. My client was charged with OWI 3rd, and we ended up before one of the toughest circuit court judges in Wayne County.  

I win a lot of implied consent hearings. More often, however, the hearing officers are so terrible that, if the cop shows up, you lose. This one was too funny not to share.  

In the 33rd District Court in Woodhaven, Michigan, my client DK was charged with Leaving the Scene of a Property Damage Accident.  LSPDA is actually a fairly serious charge.

In Garden City's 21st District Court, I represented GG, accused of OWI by local police.  My client was seated in his car, which was running, eating taco bell in February 2015.

Picked a jury yesterday, February 12, 2016.  I was really happy with the jury considering that the facts were pretty tough. Client was followed by a 911 caller who claimed that the vehicle was all over the road. No one else thought my client's driving was bad enough to dial 911 even though the caller followed my client for 15 minutes.

My client was described as uninjured following a serious crash and rollover accident. According to police and witnesses, my client was falling down drunk but not injured from the crash.
