Congratulations to Joe Metcalfe on another Trial Win!

Mr. Metcalfe’s client was accused of Hit and Run.  This crime, if convicted, carries up to 364 days of jail.  More importantly, Mr. Metcalfe’s client has rented the same home for the last 35 years and was told by the landlord that if he was convicted of any crime that he would be required to leave.  Mr. Metcalfe’s client, understandably, did not wish to lose his home of 35 years.  At trial, Mr. Metcalfe proved that his client had only left the immediate location of the car accident because the driver of the other car became aggressive, and that Mr. Metcalfe’s client feared being the victim of violence.  Further, through the body camera footage the police took, Mr. Metcalfe was able to demonstrate that the motivation of the other driver was to try to make Mr. Metcalfe’s client responsible for his medical bills (medical bills that were due to an injury he suffered before the accident with Mr. Metcalfe’s client).  At the conclusion of evidence, Mr. Metcalfe’s client was found Not Guilty.
