NOT GUILTY DWI 🔥

Associate attorney Rob DiDomenico brings home another Not Guilty verdict, this time for a DWI client stopped for speeding and ultimately charged with DWI after registering a .08 BAC.

At a district court bench trial, Associate Attorney DiDomenico successfully challenged the officer's testimony, highlighted errors in his report, and ultimately called into question the reliability of the reading from the Intox EC/IR breathalyzer. The judge agreed that the evidence of DWI was insufficient and found the firm's client NOT GUILTY.

NOT GUILTY ALL COUNTS

Our client was falsely accused and took a high-stakes gamble to prove her innocence.

5 years later, she was fully exonerated following a week-and-half-long jury trial, when a jury of her peers acquitted her of every single charge.

2 years of trial preparation. A private investigator, a defense expert, and 2 devoted trial attorneys determined to bring the truth to light.

We exposed the lie and a jury saw the truth. Scroll for details on our recent trial victory.
