When did you see an awesome mic drop moment in court?

I had a client who was accused of taking a young woman's car and then crashing it and fleeing the scene.

The girl testified at trial that she'd given him the keys that night because she was drunk and would never, ever drink and drive.

Apparently she wasn't aware that I'd requested and obtained a copy of her driving record, which showed she had received a DUI a month after the incident.

I still remember the look on her face when I handed her her driving record and said,

Except for that one time you got caught a month later, right?

The look on the judge's face was equally memorable.

I can't remember exactly what he called her testimony, something along the

line of absolutely not believable. There were quite a few other evidentiary issues that pointed to the

possibility that someone else, perhaps an inebriated young woman, was driving the vehicle at the time of

the accident. The client was acquitted. I trapped a defendant pretty badly one time.

He testified in a deposition that he had a green arrow for his left turn and that my client

ran the red.

Unfortunately for him, the additional turn lane arrow was installed two months after the wreck.

Case settled for policy limits a week later.

During a deposition on a case where two former employees

decided to start their very own company in a very niche market, the problem was how they did it,

which was trying to poach existing clients while they were still employed with their old boss,

which breached their fiduciary duty, particularly that of loyalty. I believe we also went after them for intentional

interference with contract, as they weren't trying to solicit new clients for their business,

but rather trying to get existing ones to break their contracts with our clients. They were dumb

enough to make their plans on company laptops they later unsuccessfully tried to brick.
