Criminal Law

• Criminal Defense
  No, that is theft. The law does not allow you to use “self-help.” There are ways, either through court or certain government agencies, to enforce your pay complaints. Keeping someone else’s property is not allowed and is against the criminal law.
• DUI/DWI
  Another DUI where the cops had video recorded the encounter with my client shows that, even if you don’t do well on the tests, there may be more than one way to use that evidence to your benefit.
• Traffic Violations
  We took the position that the cop mislead LN into taking the tests by saying he would either be let go or given a ride, but not saying the ride would be to the county jail. It wasn’t enough to get the charge dismissed but it did get reduced to Reckless Driving and avoided a minimum 10 day jail sentence and 5 year license suspension for LN.
• Sex Crimes
  But then I was reminded of a case I tried some years ago. The guy was charged with rape. The “victim” was a teen girl and the defendant was an itinerant laborer. She had run from the woods to a nearby Fire Station and the cops had jumped on my guy when they found him asleep, or passed out, on the mattress where the deed had been done.
• Theft
• Misdemeanors
  Why do you say that, you ask? In SWAT team raids things don't happen calmly, as they could if an arrest warrant was executed in some sort of reasonable fashion. This was a combat-style raid on a home where a marijuana a dealer lived. His prior record? Misdemeanor possession of...wait for it...marijuana!
• Drug Crimes
  Growing up, I was always the youngest in whatever was going on. Having been born in late November, there were only one month of students younger than me starting first grade. In High School, I skipped 12 grade and went to University on the Early Admission program. And if that weren't enough, I also took the CLEP test and got another full year's worth of college credit before the first day of classes. There I was, 16 years old, a sophomore at USF, taking Accounting, Marketing and Finance classes at the College of Business right along side of people much older than me. Though the legal age to drink back then was still 18, I, a student in the second year of college, could not (legally) down a brew with my classmates. Even though I took lighter loads and summers off in college, I was still one of the youngest in my graduating class in 1977. And despite the fact that I took 9 months off between college and the start of Law School, I was the youngest and least experienced student there, having lived at home up until then. That was my first time living away from my parents and having the freedom that empowers and endangers youth. Finishing my last class in Law School at the ripe old age of 22, I may not have been the youngest in my graduating class but I was close. I was used to it by that time. I had learned to keep quiet when in doubt and watch and learn from my older companions. You know the saying, it's better to keep your mouth shut and let people think you're an idiot than it is to open it and prove them right. Actually, I learned that if you keep your mouth shut, because of their own insecurities, people think you're smart or conceited or both. But either way, you learn more about the people around you than you would if you were running your mouth all the time. So not only did I get used to being the youngest person at any given event or activity, it served me well. But that was years ago. I recently logged my 32nd year in the practice of law and have been doing this for well over half of my lifetime. I am no longer the youngest in the room. In fact, now I am sometimes the oldest person in the room and that is taking some getting used to. For instance, I had a jury trial last month on a drug trafficking case. As is typical in a trial courtroom, there was a judge, several bailiffs, a couple of Assistant State Attorneys, my co-counsel,my client and a jury of 6 plus two alternates. On occasion an observer or two would pop in. I didn't realize it at first, but at some point I looked around the courtroom at everyone and saw that I was most likely the oldest person in the room. One of the jurors may have been close, but the judge was maybe 40, the ASA's were probably in their 30's, the bailiffs ranged from 30's to late 40's, I’m guessing, and my client was 25 years old. Co-counsel was 40ish. I was the old man! But I was also the most experienced. I don't mean to toot my own horn, but the experience showed. I had the case law to support everything I a
