OUTCOME: Charge Dismissed
Client was minding his own business when a local yokel cop decides to wrongfully stop and harass him. Yeah, he had a little pot, but there's no evidence of it if it's suppressed for bad stop.
OUTCOME: Guilty plea, with better than probation jail sentence
Client had a no-win DWI. Like many clients, this client's first concern was staying out of jail, until, that is, he saw how little jail time I could get him and how burdensome probation would be in com ... parison.
OUTCOME: No billed by grand jury

OUTCOME: No billed by grand jury
Client in throws of a psychotic episode. Cop charges her with felony assault on public servant. Grand Jury said no.
OUTCOME: NOT GUILTY
Client's 3 month old child died while in client's care. The Dallas Medical Examiner said it was homicide. The police and the Texas Rangers said my client killed his child. I absolutely destroyed the me ... dical examiner and showed what an absolutely horrible investigation the police did. After a 10-day trial, a Collin County jury took 2.5 hours to return a stunning NOT GUILTY verdict.
OUTCOME: Not Guilty
What was really just a business deal gone bad resulted in my client being accused of harassing the other party online. In what turned out to be a relatively quick trial, client was found not guilty.
OUTCOME: Not guilty.
Client had gotten into it with some other people about what was really a pretty silly matter. In the course of the little feud, rude emails, etc., were sent. The police decide to show up at my client's ... house to talk to him. No warrant or anything. Client decides he doesn't want to talk to them, so he goes out into his back yard. Cop 1 decides he doesn't like that, so he goes and climbs up the fence and enters into my guy's back yard, where he claims my client was trying to destroy his telephone. Argument to the judge was that cops can't go entering into peoples' private back yards without invitation or warrant no more than they can go into their houses and that evidence from such an unlawful search should be suppressed. The second argument was that (1) the phone wasn't destroyed and (2) the evidence was in the Instagram and Facebook servers and not on the phone. Not sure exactly which argument the judge went with, but we won.
OUTCOME: Not guilty.

OUTCOME: Charge reduced to misdemeanor with time served
Client was facing 2 years and state jail and parole revocation for state jail felony drug charge. Nonetheless, set the case for trial. There were issues about client's knowledge of drugs being in the ... car. Minutes before the trial was to begin, the DA offered to reduce the charge to a misdemeanor and offered 1 day in jail, with credit for time served. Client was elated.
OUTCOME: Not guilty
My client was in a work truck in the passenger seat. A fellow employee was driving. During a traffic stop, the other kid was placed under arrest for some warrants. The police ended up searching the c ... ar and found a small bag of marijuana on the floorboard, between the center console and the front passenger seat and decided that it must have been my guy's. The state called the police officer as a witness and introduced the marijuana and a video tape of the transaction. When I cross-examined the officer, the jury heard that he didn't know who put the marijuana there, how long it had been there, whether my client ever knew it was there, whether my client had ever smoked marijuana, how long my client had even been in that seat or who else had been sitting in that seat that day, week , month or year. They also learned that the officer didn't do one thing to ever try to obtain the answer to any of those questions. They also learned that the officer never bothered to see whether my client's or someone else's fingerprints were on the plastic bag that clearly had fingerprints on it. They also got to watch the officer lose all credibility on the stand as he was try to avoid answering the most simple questions once he saw he was trapped. They also got to hear about the guy driving's multiple drug convictions.
