Please describe a case(s) in the last year or two where you made a big difference.
Scorned ex-lover brought action for restraining order against former boyfriend (our client). He had a spotless record and a job where even a slight ding would be costly. He was also concerned about the impacts of the restraining order on his right to own a firearm. He hired me, we demanded a hearing. At the hearing I successfully cross examined the accuser and she admitted she had no proof to support her claims. The action was dismissed.
