Featured Case:
01/06/2009 Two friends, caught in a car smoking marijuana by police officers,
face same charge: marijuana possession. Co-defendant, represented by another lawyer, files no motions, pleads guilty, and now has a criminal conviction on
his record.
M..M., represented by Ted Lothstein, files a motion to suppress claiming the police violated his constitutional rights by searching the car without a warrant. After
a hearing in Manchester District Court, and after Attorney Lothstein cross-examines the arresting officer, Judge Champagne grants the motion to suppress – case dismissed!
Friend, who has already paid his fine and watched his lawyer head back to
the office – and then stuck around to see M.M. win his case – hangs head
in disappointment.
No case could serve as a better example – it really matters, who
you choose for your lawyer.
