Many large multi city DUI defense firms post their recent victories. It appears very impressive at first glance dosn't it? Some of these firms have several offices and several lawyers with varying degrees of experience. They may handle hundreds, if not thousands of cases. They may post several wins per month.
What is their definition of "win" ? Is it a reduced charge? Is it an invalidation of an administrative suspension? Is it a reduced charge? Is it a win at a jury trial?
The plain truth is these firms do not post all of the case results, including their recent defeats. For example they may have 2,000 cases per year and post 2 wins a week. That is only about 5 (.052) percent. A smaller firm that handles 200 cases per year and wins 2 cases per month actually has a higher win percentage of 10 percent (.10). The plain truth is that each client and each case has unique facts and circumstances. Clients and cases are not statistics with results posted as if criminal defense is a game. Defense of criminal charges is not a game to me.
