2009 DUI Case Results: The following are some of the results Norton Hare, LLC, has obtained for clients in DUI cases in 2009 (the year is not over as of this posting). This list only includes DUI cases and not any of the results we have obtained in defending other types of cases. Also, this list only includes DUI cases that resulted in dismissals or acquittals and does not include the favorable results we have obtained for clients that involved resolution by plea or diversion. It is extremely important to remember, though, that past performance does not guarantee or predict future result. Every case is different and each must be judged on its own merits.
