Congratulations to Kylie Cin on a Bench Trial Win!

Ms. Cin’s client didn’t pay his child support obligation.  Failing to do so carries jail up to six months for each time a person is found to have failed to pay.  However, Ms. Cin’s client was unemployed and had no assets.  At trial, Ms. Cin presented evidence that her client had lost his job due to a DUII conviction; and then he lost his home, car, and even his phone.  Ms. Cin offered evidence that showed her client had been actively looking for work, obtained a loner cell phone from the probation office, and was even selling his blood plasma for money for food.  The judge ruled that Ms. Cin’s client had not committed Contempt of Court because he could not possibly have paid.
