Courts reopened today to different practices and procedures depending on the jurisdiction. I suggested and the MCDAA formed a Covid-19 Committee to get some uniformity for trial practice. Only a few judges have been interested in the Organization's input, although...
I was just retained by a new client. She had partially paid another lawyer who told her she had a 40% chance of getting the case dismissed. This soothsayer has not seen the police report nor the Body Camera footage. He could not tell you who the prosecutor is going...

This is a an off-spring of the treatment nightmare post. I had a young client who is a junkie-plain and simple. Like all heroin addicts he wanted everything his way and he wanted it now. He decided he needed to be in a $40,000.00 28-day program because it will look...
