The "Dirty DUI" scandal
We successfully represented several husbands who were set up by corrupt police officers and their ex-wives for DUI arrest in order for evidence of that arrest to be used against them in family court disputes. One of the officers involved in this case was ultimately arrested and found guilty in an accompanying criminal case for corruption after it came to light that he faciliated our client's arrest in return for, among other things, cocaine. https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2017/
