Dummit Fradin Wins $6.6M Verdict Against Rapper Yo Gotti
[Winston-Salem, North Carolina, Tuesday, May 28, 2019] Dummit Fradin litigation attorneys recently won a high profile trial against mainstream rapper Yo Gotti. Yo Gotti, aka Mario Mims, was slapped with a hefty $2.2 million verdict in a North Carolina courtroom today. The amount was then tripled by a Forsyth County judge to $6.6 million because of a finding of unfair and deceptive trade practices. In 2016, Yo Gotti recorded a verse for Young Fletcher. Young Fletcher, aka Lamont Fletcher, is a local North Carolina rapper who hoped to "jump start" his career with the release of this collaboration. Yo Gotti received $20,000 for the recording, but never got approval from his label Epic Records.

From Crash to DWI Trial: Winning With A Tactical Cross
From A Car Crash to a DWI Trial: Winning through the Art of Tactical Cross-Examination Facing criminal charges is always stressful, but it's especially difficult when it's a Driving While Impaired (DWI) charge. The consequences can feel overwhelming: the client will have to pay court fines and legal fees, will face at least one license suspension, and probation or jail time depending on the circumstances, unless a plea bargain can be arranged. Additionally, there are potential future consequences to employment, custody battles, housing, or anything where having a criminal record might be a problem. A guilty verdict after a DWI trial can and will upend a person's entire life. Therefore, it's imperative when facing this kind of charge, that your attorney is experienced in DWI defense so they have effective strategies at every stage in the case. Recently, Criminal Defense Attorney Anastasia Tramontozzi took [...]
Bringing a Firearm onto Courthouse Property
Our client was incorrectly charged with bringing a firearm onto courthouse property in Davidson County. In fact, our client had a concealed carry permit and was arrested for lawfully having a firearm on the parking lot beside the courthouse. A Dummit Fradin criminal defense attorney recently represented this client and successfully got the case voluntarily dismissed. Getting the Charge Dismissed The deputy perceived danger and acted quickly. The deputy, however, failed to observe the law. Thus, our attorney filed a pretrial motion to dismiss. He spoke with the deputy and the prosecutor and explained that he was not contesting the facts of what happened. Instead, he was focusing specifically on an entirely legal argument. When the NC General Assembly drafted the prohibition of firearms on certain government property, their statutory intent clearly did not prohibit lawful concealed carry on property outside of the courthouse building. Our attorney also [...]
