Type of Case: Possession of a Firearm by a Felon Case Result: Dismissed County: Guilford County Complex Situation Sometimes doing the right thing has negative personal consequences. For our client, this was the case. He had raised a young man as a surrogate son. This young man made some unfortunate decisions which led him to be incarcerated in Virginia. During his incarceration, the young man developed serious medical issues which caused the state of Virginia to discharge him from his imprisonment. Our client took the young man in and provided him with a place to stay while he healed from his serious medical issues. Unfortunately, the gift of safety and the place to stay was lost on the young man. He began to engage in unlawful activity including dealing in narcotics.

Motion for Appropriate Relief Granted in Guilford County
Our client, like many others, got a dreaded speeding ticket in Guilford County. Unfortunately, Guilford County has a new policy that makes it difficult to get a reduction on any speeding charge where the top speed is over 90 miles per hour. So, our client hired legal counsel. Attempting a Prayer for Judgement Continued Her previous lawyer helped her get a Prayer for Judgement Continued. This is a motion unique to North Carolina that allows people with traffic violations to plead guilty to an offense and ask for a Prayer for Judgement from the judge. If the judge grants the Prayer for Judgement, the offense is not entered against the defendant. It is still documented, but points are not added to the person's driving record. However, one caveat is that there's a limit to the number of Prayers for Judgement a judge can grant per household. And, the [...]

Appeal Won for Civil Revocation of a CDL
Dummit Fradin's Greensboro DWI Team Wins Civil Revocation of CDL Appeal A Greensboro client with a commercial driver's license, or CDL, was charged with DWI in Guilford County. As a result, our client was also hit with a civil revocation of his CDL, also known as a CVR. A civil revocation of a CDL can result in disqualification from using a CDL for one year. This means that CDL holders also face potentially losing their job if the civil revocation stands. One of the biggest obstacles to handling these types of cases is that clients have exactly 10 days to appeal a civil revocation of a CDL. Otherwise, the revocation is allowed to stand and it will disqualify their CDL. Fortunately, our Greensboro client advised us of his issue with only a few days left to petition for a hearing. our legal team filed [...]

Clarke Dummit needed to present a new perspective on [...]

[The attorney] submitted evidence to show the father had acted in a manner that would foreseeably result in his [...]
Rigorous Preparation For DMV Hearing Questions Paid Off
Type of Case: DMV Interlock Violation Hearing Case Result: Won - Client is allowed to keep his driver's license County: Guilford County We recently helped a client who unexpectedly received an interlock violation notice from the DMV. Many people initially try to handle these hearings on their own and are not prepared for the type of DMV hearing questions they'll be asked.
