"I was in a DUI related accident in small mountain county. A small child had a minor bump on her head. She was in a child car seat, totally secure. I had only lived in CA for one week and I got caught in an unexpected snow storm and I did not have a 4-wheel-drive vehicle. I had and accident, knocked over a telephone pole, minor bump on the child's head. The CHP and the prosecutor charged me with felony child endangerment under the CA Penal Code and felony DUI under the CA Vehicle Code. They wanted a long prison sentence. Mark fought my case for over a year. He hired an expert to show that my blood level was much lower and the time of the accident. He also hired an accident/engineer and Mark subpoenaed the accident history for that road and there were other accidents DUI/Not DUI in that same area. Mark was able to get the felony child endangerment totally dismissed and then the felony DUI reduced to a misdemeanor injury and finally he got it reduced to a regular, non injury DUI. Instead of prison and a one year or 3 year loss of license, I am in the process of getting work project and Mark also did our DMV hearing also and we may even win that. Mark calmed me down in a very stressful situation and he cared about both myself and my passengers (fiance and child) equally.
