Dismissed | Breaking and Entering, Larceny, Resisting Officer
Our client was facing sentencing on multiple counts in Winston-Salem and hired criminal defense attorney Clarke Dummit. Mr. Dummit presented multiple potential evidentiary issues, and possible suppression and identification issues if the case went to trial. Rather than continue with trial, the State agreed to dismiss all charges once our client paid restitution and did community service.
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 [...]

Father Attains Child Support with 50/50 Custody
Winston-Salem Family Law Team Type of Case: Child Support Case Result: Father Granted Child Support with 50/50 Custody County: Forsyth County Our attorney recently represented a father in a child support case in Forsyth County. The client held 50/50 custody of his children and now needed Erica's help in getting a fair child support arrangement. Months before the two parties even separated, our client took medical leave from his job while he had shoulder surgery. The parties then separated and our client did not go back to his job after medical leave. Going back meant he'd have to work 2nd shift from 3:00 pm to 2:00 am without anyone to care for his children. So he was forced to take a different job making less money. Accurately Imputing Income for Fair Child Support Although he no longer worked there, the county was trying to impute the first, higher-paying [...]

An Unexpected DWI Refusal Hearing Win
Type of Case: DWI Refusal Hearing at the DMV Case Result: Hearing Won! Attorney: Clarke Dummit When our firm takes on DWI defense cases we often look for the needle in the haystack.

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.
