Jaffe, Hanle, Whisonant & Knight, P.C.

Recently I hired Jonathan Brown as my attorney for a court case of mine and might I say he is one of the best lawyers I’ve ever had the experience of meeting and hiring. Just when I thought I was finally done for and I would definitely be going to jail to serve time Mr. Brown saved me. I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney to go up to bat for me. He showed me that there are attorneys out there who truly care about the people they’re fighting for and I couldn’t be more grateful for his services. He was able to get my charges dismissed in a swift, diligent, and respectful manner. As well the way he explained court procedures to me and negotiated with the prosecutor to fight for my side was above and beyond what I expected any lawyer to be able to do for me in my case. All in all I give him a ten out of five stars if this intelligent and respectable man isn’t a partner of your firm already I highly recommend that he should be considered for the position.

Thanks

Another big win for Jaffe, Hanle, Whisonant & Knight, P.C.!

J.C. was charged with Attempted Murder and Animal Cruelty. The only evidence that the State of Alabama had with which to prosecute was the testimony of the alleged victim in the case. Attorney Knight represented J.C. and was prepared to move forward with a Preliminary Hearing to prove his innocence of the allegations. Before the hearing, Attorney Knight met with the State to discuss whether they had any additional evidence besides the eyewitness testimony against J.C., how this testimony alone was unreliable, and how there was also no legitimate evidence to believe this witness/victim would be willing to testify in the future. The State reluctantly agreed and admitted that without this testimony, they had no evidence against J.C. They also conceded that they also had no evidence to believe the witness would be available at trial. Prior to the commencement of the hearing, Mr. Knight moved for the charges to be dismissed over the State’s objection. The District Court quickly found in J.C.’s favor and dismissed the charges against him.

Attorneys Richard Jaffe and Michael Whisonant secured an incredible outcome!

K.F. was charged federally in the United States District Court with Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law while working in his official capacity as a sergeant for the Alabama Department of Corrections. The allegation was that our client and others used excessive force by kicking a prisoner and hitting him with batons while he was on the ground in order to punish the prisoner for being out of his cell. Attorneys Richard Jaffe and Michael Whisonant, Jr. represented K.F. and knew that they could take the case to trial to clear his name of any wrongdoing. After a three-day trial, the jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty and protected our client from facing the maximum 10-year prison sentence that could have been imposed otherwise.
