All The Wins

The TACDL list-serve is here to help you win cases!

Give Scott Kimberly a way to go!

Here is what he had to say about his epic win this week:

I settled what has been the most complex and difficult case of my career today. Indicted for First Degree and Solicitation to Commit First Degree. Ended up with a plea to Voluntary Manslaughter up a range. Could have ended better at trial. Could have ended much, much worse.

I just wanted to say thank you to this thread. I had so many issues I had never faced before and this thread was invaluable in helping me through this case. I truly appreciate everyone on here.

Recent TCDC attendee Sam Hudson gets a pat on the back too!

He got a not guilt verdict on a 2 day jury trial this week on charges of rape, incest and sexual assault.

TACDL members are winning cases!
