Lead Trial Attorney: Daniel Q. Herbert

The Superintendent of Police filed charges against a veteran Chicago Police Officer. The Superintendent alleged that the Officer was involved in an off-duty traffic crash in which he had been drinking. The Officer was taken by ambulance and CPD proceeded to the hospital. However, the officer never arrived at the hospital after he refused treatment while en route. We filed a motion to bar reports prepared by the ambulance drivers which were critical to the Superintendent's case. Our motion was granted and the evidence was barred from introduction. The Superintendent agreed to a reduced penalty of a minor suspension and the case was settled. 14 PB 2861 (2014)
