• Robbery
  Client was pulled over for a DUI investigation and a loaded shotgun was found in the trunk. The shotgun was traced to a recent robbery at a sporting goods store. At the preliminary hearing, two store employees identified my client in open court as the perpetrator. There was also a video recording of the theft. Nevertheless, when the case was set for trial I was able to convince the prosecutor that my client was not the right guy. Case dismissed.
• Burglary
  The breaking into and entering of a person’s residence completes the crime. The items taken, if any, are of less significance than the act itself. In fact, even “breaking into†is not necessarily required to commit the offense.

If you’re found at fault in an accident with serious injuries or death and you are determined to be under the influence of alcohol, you could be facing felony charges. Depending on the severity of the injuries, if you are charged with a felony, you could be facing prison time. If you kill another person in an accident that’s determined to be related to your state of intoxication, you could be charged with DUI Manslaughter.

  Whether actually engaging in the act of having sex for money or merely agreeing to do so, the offense is deemed committed simply by agreeing to provide or obtain sexual pleasures for a fee.
