The first week in January was very hectic and 2014 has gotten off to a very good start! I was in Shelby County, Alabama on two separate felony cases. Shelby County’s main courthouse is in Columbiana, Alabama. Both of my client’s cases were set for the preliminary hearing docket but we did not have a hearing on either case. They were both reset to March in order for me to review the discovery provided by the District Attorney’s office and to talk to witnesses and conduct an investigation of the case. I am confident that I can get a better offer from the District Attorneys office.
I also picked up a new case involving a student at Samford University. The student was charged with Disorderly Conduct which is a very minor charge. I am hoping to get the student’s case dismissed prior to trial. In other news, I am still upgrading my website and I just received the device that allows me to take credit/debit cards over the phone. I’m excited about 2014!
