Case results
Successful past cases handled
A sample of real cases the attorney has personally handled — DUI, traffic, drug, and felony charges resolved through motions to suppress, depositions, and negotiation with the state.
Results are specific to the facts of each case and are not a guarantee of a similar outcome.
Case facts
My client was stopped for an equipment violation, asked to perform field sobriety exercises on suspicion of DUI, and arrested. He refused to provide a urine sample.
Result
I filed a motion to suppress the request for urine, arguing it was unconstitutional and unreasonable given the facts. The judge granted the motion. The DUI charge was dropped and my client received no conviction — court costs only on a reduced charge of reckless driving.
Case facts
My client was charged with leaving the scene of an accident. Parking-lot video showed the defendant making contact with another vehicle, getting out of his car, and then leaving.
Result
After deposing the officer, I found inconsistencies between the investigation, witness statements, and the video evidence. Through several hearings and communication with the prosecutor, I convinced the state to drop the charges completely.
Case facts
My client was stopped by officers in his parking garage. They noted a strong odor of alcohol, bloodshot eyes, slurred speech and a flushed face; he performed poorly on all roadside exercises and was arrested.
Result
After thorough investigation I filed a motion to suppress, arguing the arrest was improper due in part to the length of time between the initial stop and the arrest. I was able to have the charge reduced to reckless driving.
Case facts
My client was stopped for weaving and failure to maintain a single lane, asked to submit to field sobriety tasks, then arrested and charged with DUI.
Result
I filed a motion to suppress the arrest, arguing the officer lacked probable cause. After argument, the judge granted the motion to suppress the arrest and all charges were dropped.
Case facts
My client was charged with felony fleeing and eluding a law enforcement officer, facing a mandatory felony conviction among other penalties.
Result
After deposing the arresting officer, I established that actual intent to flee would be difficult to prove. I convinced the prosecutor to amend the charge to a traffic criminal charge of reckless driving. The felony was dropped.
Case facts
My client was charged with possession of cannabis over 20 grams, a third-degree felony, found in his pocket and in the vehicle after a traffic stop.
Result
After deposing the arresting officer I filed a motion to suppress, having determined this was an illegal stop and illegal search. Before the motion was argued, the state agreed to drop the felony charge.
