Practice Area: Criminal Defense

Outcome: Not Guilty

Description: Client was charged with the following offenses: OUI 3rd Offense (a mandatory jail sentence), Operating Negligently, Leaving the Scene of Property Damage, Operating After License Suspended, Subsequent Offense, Malicious Destruction of Property Under $250, and Disorderly Conduct. Client was offered a plea deal of 6 months in jail with a guilty plea and client declined. We took the case to trial. After a two-day long jury trial with five witnesses, the jury found client not guilty of all charges except operating on a suspended license, subsequent offense. Most importantly, client avoided the mandatory jail time and the felony conviction. He walked out of the court room with me that day a free man.
