Interfering with the Duties of a Public Servant. My client had learned that another young man had tried to "lay hands" on his sister. When my client next saw the other young man, the other young man was already in police custody, but my client had some things to say to him. And he said them. Police officer told my client to back off and stop saying those things to young man who was under arrest. My client was more interested in telling the other young man to leave his sister alone. Ultimately, police took my client to the floor. Result: case dismissed. Click here to see enlarged image.

Interfering with the Duties of a Public Servant. Supposedly, my client had put her hands on the face of a police officer who was trying to arrest her boyfriend. My client was angry as all get-out and wanted a jury trial to get justice. My investigation showed that the defense could present more witnesses than the prosecutors could, including 2 witnesses who had no stake in whether my client was found guilty or not. Also, the policeman's story between his affidavit for a warrant of arrest and his police report differed a lot, not to the State's benefit. Result: case dismissed. Click here to see enlarged image.
