Dummit Fradin Wins $6.6M Verdict Against Rapper Yo Gotti

 [Winston-Salem, North Carolina, Tuesday, May 28, 2019] Dummit Fradin litigation attorneys recently won a high profile trial against mainstream rapper Yo Gotti. Yo Gotti, aka Mario Mims, was slapped with a hefty $2.2 million verdict in a North Carolina courtroom today. The amount was then tripled by a Forsyth County judge to $6.6 million because of a finding of unfair and deceptive trade practices. In 2016, Yo Gotti recorded a verse for Young Fletcher. Young Fletcher, aka Lamont Fletcher, is a local North Carolina rapper who hoped to "jump start" his career with the release of this collaboration. Yo Gotti received $20,000 for the recording, but never got approval from his label Epic Records. Nor did he provide the required “side artist agreement” which would have allowed Young Fletcher to release the song. Yo Gotti then tried to go around Young Fletcher’s manager, Michael Terry, and steal [...]

Attorney: Tyler Chriscoe Type of Case: Misdemeanor Larceny Case Result: Voluntary Dismissal with Court-Ordered Expungement County: Forsyth County A Promotion Denied Our soon-to-be client, a normally hardworking guy, was ecstatic when his name came up for a significant promotion at work.

This should have been a formality. However, when they showed him the background check, he was dumbfounded. It showed he had a pending larceny charge. Stuck in a state of utter confusion, he simply couldn't understand what had happened. No [...]

Driving is Risky Business: Go with the Flow or Impede Others?

A Typical Commute Goes Awry Driving down our normal paths every day, from work to home, from home to school, from school to work becomes customary, expected, even ordinary. We try to stay alert, we try to stay safe, but these routes become so ingrained in our daily routines that we drive them on autopilot, nearly without thought. We follow along with others on the same paths in life thinking about our jobs, our kids, or singing along to our favorite songs. We know these roads. We know their hazards and their twists and turns. These are our safe zones. For one Forsyth County woman, just going along about her daily drive, the same as she does every day, these familiar spaces were about to become filled with stress and anxiety.

Not Guilty – DWI, Failure to Reduce Speed

A client was charged with DWI and failure to reduce speed. He had left a restaurant in the late evening after having two sizable beers and a bit to eat. While driving around a corner, he went off the road. The police responded within minutes. Our client was put through the battery of field sobriety tests and was arrested. He eventually blew a 0.14 at the station in downtown Winston Salem where he was charged with DWI and failure to reduce speed. An unsuccessful motion was made regarding the accuracy of the field sobriety test; however, importantly, the testimony of the officer who testified was clearly not credible. This credibility issue was brought to the forefront by DWI attorney Michael Fradin. After a full trial on the merits, and the officer’s credibility continually challenged, Michael Fradin successfully argued to the Forsyth county court that the state had not [...]

Bringing a Firearm onto Courthouse Property

Our client was incorrectly charged with bringing a firearm onto courthouse property in Davidson County. In fact, our client had a concealed carry permit and was arrested for lawfully having a firearm on the parking lot beside the courthouse. A Dummit Fradin criminal defense attorney recently represented this client and successfully got the case voluntarily dismissed. Getting the Charge Dismissed The deputy perceived danger and acted quickly. The deputy, however, failed to observe the law. Thus, our attorney filed a pretrial motion to dismiss. He spoke with the deputy and the prosecutor and explained that he was not contesting the facts of what happened. Instead, he was focusing specifically on an entirely legal argument. When the NC General Assembly drafted the prohibition of firearms on certain government property, their statutory intent clearly did not prohibit lawful concealed carry on property outside of the courthouse building. Our attorney also [...]
