Attorney Beau James Brock's Legal Cases

DUI and DWI

State of Louisiana v. A.V.

Mar 14, 2016

OUTCOME: Client got reduced charge from Second Offense DWI to Reckless Operation

Client arrested for his Second Offense DWI. I reviewed the discovery and the video of his traffic stop by the police and his arrest. In the video, the police officer says if you pass the test you can ... go home but if you refuse it or fail it, you will go to jail. Also in the video, my client does poorly in one leg stand and walk and turn tests. There was no "line" for the walk and turn, BUT it still didn't look like a good performance. From the video, I can't tell how well he did on the HGN. The breath test was BAD...he blew .15. BUT... client did NOT sign the rights form. Also, grounds for a suppression due to weak video on the "weaving" and if client was speeding, he was not arrested for it and police officer, though mentioning it, very little video of what may be possibly client's car on the video from the side when the video comes on. Cop lit client up with his lights even before any time he could see him drive in his actual lane let alone erratic driving. I filed a Motion to Suppress based on the issues with the stop and managed to convince the prosecutor he had enough issues to get the case reduced all the way down to Reckless Operation. Big win for client!

Criminal defense

State of Louisiana v. J.D.

Sep 09, 2015

OUTCOME: Case dismissed by the prosecutor after completion of PTI.

Our client was arrested for major felony charges of Distribution of Schedule II drugs & Possession with Intent to Distribute Schedule II drugs. He had two previous misdemeanor convictions as well. Cli ... ent was 50 years old at the time of this incident. I intervened very early in this case after my client's arrest and began to call and meet in person with the ADA about the unique background of the case and earnestly attempted to humanize our client as best as I could. explained to the ADA that our client was "set up" and busted by the police by his own sister, who has a long-standing drug addiction, in order to help herself out on her own charges. After being called repeatedly by his sister, he finally succumbed and brought her some of his own prescription pills, and upon doing so, was arrested by the police. He was not a dealer nor was he a hardened “criminal.” I requested the ADA to consider some type of alternative track for him. And, although he had two older misdemeanor convictions, I hoped this would not be an impermissible impediment to resolving this matter. Our client was disabled after working the majority of his life and lived in pain every day due to his extensive upper, middle and lower back injuries. For these chronic and debilitating injuries, he had undergone surgeries, injections, physical therapy, and lots of meds. We sent an extensive and candid mitigation package including medicals, photos, and other background information on our client. All of this effort convinced the ADA to take the case out of the formal criminal justice track and allow him to complete pretrial diversion and the case was dismissed without any type of conviction.
