Seattle is swapping lanes for "road diets," but a lower speed limit sign doesn’t erase a city's liability for dangerous engineering flaws.

CONGRATS to NextLaw Trial Attorney Andrew Holcombe on fighting for a Not Guilty verdict for a very deserving client in his first trial as a defense attorney!

Our client was charged with Physical Control because police believed he was impaired while sitting in his car parked down the street from his house. But Washington state law provides an absolute defense against conviction if it can be shown that the accused was "safely off the roadway," which is something that a jury alone can decide.

Despite the fact that our client had no prior history and fully engaged themselves in alcohol counseling, the State refused to extend any offers at all. Which means we go to trial. The jury was out for less than a half hour before returning their verdict!

Way to fight for justice for our client, Andrew!

In Washington, nearly 1 out of 5 traffic deaths involve a pedestrian, that’s someone just crossing the street or walking to work. It only takes one distracted driver to change everything, so if you’ve been hit, don’t fight the insurance companies alone.
