I’ll set aside whether these grieving parents should be charged at all. The ASA that asked for $1,500,000 money bond and the judge the set should be ashamed of themselves. There’s no world that’s appropriate on anything close to the facts outlined in the story.

This is your free reminder that the police know it’s Memorial Day weekend too. The DUI wolf packs will be out in force.

Unlike the reminder, if you do pick up a DUI, hiring a lawyer will not be free.

This result was possible because the client hired us early and worked with us from day one to build strong mitigation. Early action and preparation make all the difference. #CriminalDefense #CaseDismissed
