Rubicon,

What I like about you is that you tell it like it is.

Believe it or not, I have actually represented somebody other than myself on a DNR violation. I represented myself and two other guys (i.e., my dad and a friend) on a charge of discharging a firearm within 150 yards of a dwelling. Ended up being found NOT guilty by the Judge. What pissed me off about that one was that the State's Attorney's plea bargain was 8 hours of community service, not hunting on the farm any longer, and coming back to Court for another day after the community service was done in order to have all the charges dropped (i.e., Nolle Prosequi'd). I have had clients charged with 2nd degree assault that had the charges dropped for a lesser charge and probation before judgment. That trial was a complete waste of the Court's time just because the State's Attorney didn't do his homework. If he had, he would have dropped the case from the beginning.

Represented another guy for shooting over the limit on ducks and not having his hunting license in his possession. Got him probation before judgment without any trouble.
