CONVICTION SET ASIDE | EXTREME DUI – State v. Mr. T. (DMC No. 10138) (San Tan Justice Court 0720-TR9909391): Mr. T. was a homeless man who found $3, 300 on the Light Rail in Tempe, Arizona. This money was located in a backpack, and nobody had seen him find the backpack. Instead of keeping the money, he turned it into the authorities where it was returned to a young college student. This story made national news and was featured in People Magazine, and Mr. T. was touted as “Hero Among Us”. When we found out about his story, we heard he was riding the Light Rail because his license was suspended from prior DUI’s, and this was preventing him from getting work. We helped secure the expungement of all his convictions, and we helped him reinstate his driver’s license. He is now employed and lives in his own apartment. All work performed on Mr. T.’s behalf was done free of charge by DM Cantor.
