I have my life back
I was arrested on January 25, 2019, for DWI with portions of the arrest airing on LivePD for millions of viewers a few hours later. Smith & Vinson was the fourth law firm that I hired to pursue a jury trial for this case, with the previous two withdrawing. Many attorneys can talk the talk, but Smith & Vinson will also walk the walk. It took 1,187 days to get to a jury trial, but I am sure glad that Brad, Jarrod, and their outstanding team were by my side and exceptionally prepared. After the jury was selected, the first witness was called to the stand and Brad and Jarrod imploded the State's case. Moments later, the case was dismissed. I couldn't be any more thankful for Smith & Vinson. Their passion for the law is unmatched. I have my life back and I owe it to them. If you need assistance, do yourself a favor and hire Smith & Vinson. Wow.

Our client was involved in a vehicle accident in La Grange where she was ejected from the vehicle and had to stay in the hospital. There was alcohol in the car, and she had prior DWIs. The ethanol levels in her blood came back at a .13 so she was charged with Driving While Intoxicated.

DWI
Not Guilty2nd DWI
911 caller reported a major rollover, single car accident. EMS and fire arrived on scene. They had to break the window to get our client out of the car. He said he had swerved to miss a deer and had been up close to 18 hours before the crash. Police later arrived on scene, spoke to our client and he admitted to coming from a bar and drinking 2 martinis. A beer can was also found on the ground by his car but no investigation was done to determine if it was from our client’s vehicle. Our client refused any roadside sobriety tests and breath. A blood test was not offered. The officer failed to get a blood search warrant. Client was taken to the hospital where he proceeded to vomit. He was cleared and taken to jail. Officer said he observed slurred speech, bloodshot eyes, confusion and swaying.
We educated them on the difference between PC to arrest (low standard – get them off the street) and beyond a reasonable doubt (very high standard – branding someone a criminal) to convict. We argued the government did not have anywhere close to enough evidence to convict. All the observations the officer observed, even if true, could be attributed to someone just having a major car accident. The officer admitted on cross examination that he did not do a good investigation, and has since learned. He also said that he “did not know how to get a blood search warrant.”
Jury deliberated for 2 hours, followed the law, and came back with a not guilty verdict. Client fought this case for over 1000 days to get his day in trial. He did not give up and neither did we.

Not Guilty2nd DWI

Client performed the SFST’s (roadside tests). Officer said he failed all 3, eye test, walk and turn and one-leg stand. Officer placed client under arrest and asked him for a sample of breath and/or blood. Client refused. Officer did not get a blood warrant.
Since this was DWI 2nd, State refused to play ball and reduce the DWI to a lesser charge. We set the case for jury trial.
We cross examined the officer on his administration of the field sobriety tests and the fact that there are many innocent explanations to explain bloodshot eyes and slurred speech among other supposed signs of intoxication. We hit the officer hard on the fact that he could have got a blood search warrant but didn’t. We argued to the jury that client has the presumption of innocence and State has the burden of proving the case beyond a reasonable doubt. And it’s their burden to bring you a number. Since they didn’t there is reasonable doubt. Jury followed the law and came back Not Guilty.
Client never gave up and got the justice he deserved.

The ethanol levels in her blood came back at a .13 so she was charged with Driving While Intoxicated. This client was unaware that she was charged after she left the hospital which resulted in the charge of Bail Jumping. However she maintained that she had only an 8% functioning liver due and upon researching her medical history, we found that she had hepatitis and was on the transplant list. There was no way she could drink without doing severe damage to herself or possibly dying. There were significant issues in the way the blood test was analyzed as well. We relayed this information to the prosecutor and told them we would only accept a dismissal or trial. The case was dismissed.
Assault
Deferred AdjudicationAggravated Assault & Tampering with Evidence
Our client was involved in a verbal dispute that turned into an altercation where a firearm was discharged into the ground. The round ricocheted and grazed a party to the dispute. Our client was facing multiple felony convictions and a prison sentence. With strong representation and a hardline approach to our tenacious defense of our Client we secured a short deferred adjudication for this case. Once completed the case will be dismissed.
Domestic Violence
Deferred AdjudicationAggravated Assault Family Violence w/ Serious Bodily Injury
Our client was involved in a domestic altercation that resulted in one of the parties sustaining a very serious life -altering injury that required serious medical intervention. We took the case and approached our defense with heavy strong willed negotiations with the State. The State wanted prison. We said that will never be an offer we will accept. It was probation or trial for us. With treatment completed by our client upfront his case ended with a Deferred Adjudication sentence. Once completed, the case will be dismissed.
Our client was accused of restricting his wife’s airway with a plastic bag. His wife, who had been a chronically unfaithful and emotionally abusive alcoholic, provided a video to the State to try and get our client charged with a felony. We did not believe the video showed a restricted airway, and we conducted our own investigation into our client’s wife and her history of abuse and fabrication. With the full support of our client’s adult children, we presented our findings to the State. The The state ultimately agreed to reject the charges pre-indictment.
