favor.

these very serious offenses that could not only put him in prison for years, but also always have
these offenses on his record. He was accused of burglarizing and engaging in Aggravated Theft from
his employer. After a trial by jury, the client was found Not Guilty on all counts.

OVI

A client was charged with a 2 nd OVI / DUI within a six year time period. HMW
Law was not consulted on the first case. However, after being referred to HMW Law for the most
recent charge of DUI, this client made the decision to hire us. HMW Law was able to have this 2 nd
DUI charge amended down to a “zero Point offense”, thus significantly decreasing the burden on our
clients’ insurance bills. Additionally, the reinstatement fee of $475 normally associated with a DUI
was thrown out as HMW Law was able to successfully argue that an “administrative license suspension
appeal” should be granted on legal grounds. Moreover, normally even with a reduction of charges on a
DUI, individuals are required to serve the 3 day DIP (Driver Intervention Program) Hotel weekend.
HMW Law was able to successfully argue that this client did not need to attend said program.
Additionally, no license suspension was given. A truly wonderful outcome for the client.

circumstances of the case, HMW Law found violations of the 4 th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

the Court granted HMW Law’s Motion to Suppress the Evidence. The Court correctly agreed with our 4
th Amendment assessment that there was a lack of reasonable suspicion for the traffic stop and/or
probable cause for the arrest of our Client. HMW Law used this leverage to later receive a dismissal
of all charges by the prosecuting attorney. In this case, aggressive pre-trial litigation and
strategizing was in the best interest of our Client.
