MLG represented Defendant in a criminal jury trial in which the MLG client was charged with malicious wounding, a 20 year maximum penalty. This case involved life threatening injuries, due to the fact that the MLG client stabbed the other party in a bar fight. But the defense of self defense was raised because our client claimed the victim was armed. MLG was able to establish the victim lied about his level of intoxication, and MLG's client was found guilty of single misdemeanor of assault and battery, rather than the felony.
