Our Team Will Aim To Get
The Results You Need

From Trials To Triumph:
Our Record Of Success

DUI - Not Guilty

Client was charged with operating while intoxicated. The client was facing significantly higher insurance costs, driver’s license suspension and probation. The case went to trial, during which our team extensively researched case law.  The client was found not guilty of all charges.

Felony - Not Guilty

Client was charged with a serious bodily injury battery on a child and faced six to 20 years in prison. The state had expert witnesses who examined the evidence and were influenced by the police to suspect abuse and the nature in which it occurred. Convinced that our client was innocent, our lawyers set out on a year-and-a-half journey to prove just that. They took statements from all witnesses, sifted through thousands of pages of prior medical documents, hired their own forensic expert and tried the case to a jury over a full week’s time. Based on their investigation, our lawyers knew that there was no way our client had committed the crime that an extremely overzealous detective had falsely pinned on him. At every turn, they challenged the shoddy police investigation that had taken place, the pigeonholing of our client as the suspect and the medical records showing prior injuries. After sitting through a week of testimony and evidence, the jury took only one hour and 25 minutes to unanimously find our client not guilty. It truly was one of the most rewarding cases our team has ever fought.

Reckless Driving - Reduced Charge

Client was charged with operating while intoxicated. The client’s job would be in jeopardy if she was convicted of an alcohol-related offense. After a thorough discovery period, the case was set for a jury trial, in which the case would be challenged on factual and legal grounds that were found during our team’s own investigation. The state of Indiana elected at the last moment to offer a reduced charge of reckless driving, which the client was extremely satisfied to take, thus keeping her employment intact.

Drug Offenses - Aquitted

Client charged with dealing and possession of controlled substances within 1,000 feet of a youth program center. Client was found to be in possession of 16 individually wrapped bindles of cocaine at the time police stopped him. The case went to a jury trial, where the client faced up to 50 years in prison on a felony dealing charge and possession charges. The state argued that dealing could be proven by the amount and packaging the client had. Our lawyers countered successfully by arguing that there was no proof of dealing based on such speculative evidence. They also argued that the church in question was not a youth program center for purposes of the 1,000-foot enhancement. Our team lost the latter argument, but, after several appeals, the case made its way up to the Indiana Supreme Court. The client was acquitted of the dealing charges.
