When a client hears "Case Dismissed," it is an unbelievable feeling. One they didn't expect.

For us, it's what we want, what we fight for, and what we have come to expect. We're relentless!

And Megan has done it again!

Congrats Megan Oliver on winning the driver's license case for our client and showing the prosecutor why they must dismiss the DWI too.

Shoutout to our Client Services Specialist, Dave Brumback!

A client recently raved about how caring and understanding he was throughout their communications.

This is the kind of care every client deserves.

Thank you, Dave!

Should You Take the Roadside Sobriety Tests?

When the police don't follow their proper procedures for obtaining a breath test, then they give us a great argument for a dismissal.

Great work, Jennifer Reagan, on convincing the prosecutor to dismiss our client's DWI.

PSA: SCAM ALERT!

If you get a call from someone claiming to be a police officer, county deputy, or other law enforcement agent claiming that you missed jury duty and there’s a warrant for your arrest, it is a scam! Hang up.

You do not have a warrant for your arrest.

This call recently came into a friend (and lawyer) of the owner of our law firm and she even wondered if it was true because they were so convincing. They made it sound like they were calling from a law-enforcement agency with police chatter in the background , but this was 100% a scam.

Getting a prosecutor to amend a DWI to a non-alcohol related traffic ticket is a huge win for any client!

Here, attorney Megan Oliver argued the officer failed to ask about medical conditions that could explain the signs the officer claimed to see which undermined his reliability, and he failed to conduct proper screening before administering any field sobriety tests.

Client also "passed" 2 field sobriety tests that focus on balance and the ability to follow instructions, which called into question the officer's decision to arrest the client.

Way to fight for our client Megan!👏
