Allegations

A heated dispute at a car lot escalated when our client tossed a traffic cone that struck a parked vehicle, leading to an arrest. We investigated immediately, seeking surveillance footage and bystander cellphone video the complainants declined to provide. Our subpoenas and negotiations focused on the brief contact with the car and conflicting claims about how many vehicles were hit and the extent of damage. We made clear we would litigate valuation and credibility. Confronted with these evidentiary problems, the prosecution dismissed the case.
