State v. K.R.

Thanks to Dan Adkins’ advocacy, a young single mother avoided jail time, preserved her stable job, and received a reduced charge—downgraded to a misdemeanor—with the opportunity for early expungement in just one year. At the outset, she faced serious consequences stemming from alcohol dependency, including damaged relationships, injuries, and the destruction of valuable family heirlooms. Rather than rushing to a guilty plea or risking a damaging trial, Dan strategically delayed the case, giving her time to pursue treatment and demonstrate real progress. With compelling documentation of her sobriety, commitment, and personal growth, he convinced both the judge and the State to support a second chance.
