State v. K.B.

February, 2026
Charges: Misdemeanor DWI Charges and Misdemeanor Hit and Run (two separate cases)

Plea to an amended count of careless driving and the separate hit-and-run case is dismissed in its entirety. For a non-citizen client in the midst of the lengthy citizenship process, this outcome was critical to minimize any negative impact to his application. Mr. Gempeler worked hard to negotiate this global resolution, including pushing back against the traffic ticket prosecutor who initially wants a straight plea. Undeterred, Mr. Gempeler got creative, persistent, and eventually achieved exactly what the client needed.
