Husband Calls 911, Gets Charged with Assault on a Female
Winston-Salem Criminal Defense Team Charges: Client was charged with Assault on a Female and Interfering with 911 Call Case Result: Dismissed County: Forsyth What Happened A client called the police when his wife became aggressive, grabbed him, and pushed their three-year-old child. When the police arrived they instead began investigating him. He insisted to the police he did not do anything, but they did not listen and continued to accuse him. At the end of the investigation, instead of helping our client, he was arrested and charged with Assault on a Female and Interfering with a 911 Call. The police officers spoke with the client's wife, who claimed that our client had struck and hit her on the head. There were no visible signs of injury to her head, but with an assault, there isn't always physical evidence. These situations are a he-said-she-said, and the side that is [...]

Dismissed – Under 21 DWI
Mr. Dummit wins again! This time, our client was a young woman who had been charged in Winston-Salem with Driving After Consuming under the age of 21. This charge is different from an over 21 DWI. When under 21, a breathalyzer reading of anything over 0.0 is, by law, enough for the charge. Mr. Dummit was able to show that proper procedures were not followed at the time our client was charged, and so the breath test could not be used as evidence. Without a breath test, the state could not prove the charge, and our client’s charge was dismissed. Dummit Fradin shows, yet again, that the state has to follow the same rules as the citizens.

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 [...]

Mistaken Identity: Clearing our Client’s Name
Attorney: Tyler Chriscoe Type of Case: Misdemeanor Larceny Case Result: Voluntary Dismissal with Court-Ordered Expungement County: Forsyth County A Promotion Denied Our soon-to-be client, a normally hardworking guy, was ecstatic when his name came up for a significant promotion at work. Not only would he receive more money but more responsibility and faster advancement. There was only one hurdle left, a review with his bosses that included a background check. He was not concerned, he had a troubled past, but nothing new. He had been through these reviews before, his bosses knew about his history and more importantly, how he had cleaned his life up. This should have been a formality. However, when they showed him the background check, he was dumbfounded. It showed he had a pending larceny charge. Stuck in a state of utter confusion, he simply couldn't understand what had happened. No [...]
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 [...]
