Our client was a local restaurant owner. She was accused of operating a motor vehicle while impaired by alcohol (DUI). The Fowler Law Group reviewed the discovery and conducted their own investigation. While the State Attorney’s Office offered a favorable negotiated plea bargain, we stood by our client and took the case to trial. In less than an hour of deliberation, the jury returned a “Not Guilty” verdict.

Our client was a local restaurant owner. She was accused of going into “full assault mode” against a healthcare worker while receiving medical attention. The alleged assault was reported by the "victim," but there were no other witnesses. With the help of a private investigator, the Fowler Law Group immediately investigated the case and discovered previously undisclosed video footage of the encounter. Our attorneys quickly pointed out the difficulties of the case; however, the client had previously plead to federal felony charges, making it difficult for the State Attorney’s Office to offer a favorable resolution. By researching the previous charges, the Fowler Law Group convinced the State and Department of Corrections to offer an internal deter, resulting in the case being dropped. As a result of our efforts, our client never had to go to court, and does not have a felony record!

Our client was a disabled grandfather of four children on violent offender felony probation for attacking a coach with a baseball bat. While on violent felony probation, he was accused of attacking a victim of a car accident, obstructing an investigation, and resisting arrest. The client’s previous attorney was not able to resolve the matter for less than 15 months in prison. However, within 13 days of the client firing his previous counsel and hiring the Fowler Law Group, he was released from jail and allowed to serve the remainder of his probation with community control! 

List of charges: 

1. Assault with a Deadly Weapon
2. Assault on a First Responder

Our client was a successful local black business owner. He was accused of felony possession of marijuana. The Fowler Law Group immediately investigated the case and discovered the marijuana in question was found right next to the white property owner who was never charged. Our attorneys took depositions of the officers and determined they took no fingerprints and failed to exclude the property owner as the person in possession of the drugs. We stood by our client and took the case to trial. In less than half an hour of deliberation, the jury returned a “Not Guilty” verdict.

Our client was a volunteer who drove an elderly woman to the salon once a month so she could get a haircut. She was accused of turning in front of a vehicle, resulting in a crash that killed the elderly passenger. The Fowler Law Group immediately took action to take written and recorded statements from all witnesses. Through some effort, we obtained the black box report from the other passenger vehicle. Using this information, the corporal investigating the fatality was able to use trigonometry to prove the other driver speeding so fast that our client would have avoided an accident had he been driving the speed limit. The other driver was cited and all citations/charges against our client were dropped!

Our client was on felony probation for a previous drug-related charge. He was accused of beating his girlfriend, a new law violation which also resulted in a violation of his probation. The alleged assault was reported several days after. Because he was on felony probation, he was not entitled to any bond, and the State wanted him to stay in jail until both cases were resolved. The Fowler Law Group took immediate action and was present at first appearance. We were able to have him released without a bond, got the charges dropped, and even convinced the State to allow our client to buy out of his remaining community service hours and terminate his probation early!

Our client was a mother of two small children. She was accused of smearing feces and urine on public park equipment, causing thousands of dollars in damages. The Fowler Law Group took immediate action and uncovered previously undisclosed internal communications that revealed the State was unable to prove a felony amount of damages. Our attorneys drafted legal briefs establishing the difficulties of the case and the State Attorney's Office agreed to a sweetheart deal! Even though she was facing up to five years in prison, our client was not adjudicated guilty of any crime and only had to perform 50 hours of community service!

Our client was a wedding photographer who had recently gone through a tragic divorce. She was accused of defrauding several victims by taking pictures at the wedding, but not completing all the terms of the contract in a timely fashion. The Fowler Law Group took immediate action to recover her work product and return the same to the alleged victims, then drafted legal briefs establishing our client was not guilty of a scheme to defraud under the circumstances alleged. Even though our client was facing up to five years in prison, the State Attorney's Office eventually dropped the charges! Our client never had to go to court and we ended up expunging the arrest and charges!

Our client was serving felony probation (criminal mischief) for intentionally crashing his car into his wife’s vehicle. He was accused of travelling to his house while there was an active domestic relations injunction against him. The Fowler Law Group took immediate action to release him from jail, then investigated the matter with the use of a private investigator. After appearing on his behalf at a 3-hour civil injunction hearing (at no additional charge), the victim voluntarily dismissed the injunction and chose to no longer support the charges against him. Because the State Attorney’s Office was unwilling to offer a reasonable plea deal (and there was no defense to the charges), we entered an open plea and attended a contested sentencing hearing where the judge gave our client credit for time served and no additional sanctions. Case closed!
