Good lovin’ gone bad — it happens, and sometimes it flames out with red and blue lights.  It doesn’t help when there’s a meddling mother-in-law involved, either. This case was a classic he said-she said involving a couple on the verge of a divorce, with a little help from people who didn’t realize 9-1-1 still records when you are on hold. In the end, the defendant was found not guilty in 30 minutes in a day long trial.

BadgerLawyer this week secured dismissal for a client in a carrying a concealed weapons case.

Badger Lawyer has been preparing for months for a Burglary and Theft trial. We pushed. We prepared. We pressured. We thought up a dozen ways to win the case, but the one that happened we never saw coming.

A week before trial, the DA just up and dismissed the charges.  Poof.  Case over.

Now I’m kinda sad that I didn’t get to go to trial, because I do love trial and I was all ready for this one. But our client didn’t mind at all.

Only one trial still scheduled for 2009!

BadgerLawyer recently settled a modest personal injury matter for a client. The client received several thousand dollars as compensation for injuries he sustained in an automobile accident. But what is more important, because he came to BadgerLawyer and took advantage of out unique fee structures, he received several hundred dollars more than he would have from any other law firm handling the same case. When you are looking for a lawyer to handle a contingency fee matter, remember that the amount of the lawyer’s percentage makes a big difference in how much you ultimately get.  At BadgerLawyer, we keep costs down so you get more.

August 25, 2009 – La Crosse County. Today Badger Lawyer defended a client charged with felony substantial battery and disorderly conduct arising out of a domestic situation. The significant facts were that both the defendant and the alleged victim had been drinking, and the alleged victim drank until she blacked out. There were a number of evidentiary issues including hotly contested hearsay issues, issues with chemical testing, and how to judge the credibility of the witnesses. A SANE nurse testified and was cross examined by Attorney Doerfler. The jury deliberated about 15 minutes and returned not guilty verdicts on both counts.
