November 2016 (ASSAULT FELONY REDUCED TO MERE YOUTHFUL OFFENDER MISDEMEANOR) – The Brogden Law Firm represented a local Man, “Z.G.”, who indicted by a grand jury for Assault in the second degree (a Class C Felony) in Coffee County Circuit Court stemming from an alleged shooting wherein the victim was allegedly shot twice by our client.  Jason R. Brogden and Josh Holcomb handled this matter together where they filed a motion for “Pre-trial Immunity” and conducted a hearing on self-defense, which is a newly enacted mechanism in our self-defense statute which allows for such a pre-trial hearings before Defendants have to go through a lengthy jury trial.  Our client asserted he was defending his person, was in imminent fear of his life and his girlfriend at the time. After a conducted lengthy and very productive immunity hearing before Circuit Judge, the Hon. Judge Thomas Head, the District Attorney’s office contacted Mr. Brogden the very next day and offered to reduce the felony  charge to a mere MISDEMEANOR (Assault 3rd) and grant the young man “YO” or  Youthful offender status (so the file was sealed) with no fine, no court cost, no probation and a short suspended sentence so that he never spent more than an hour in jail when he was indicted and booked in and bonded right out.  We believe the client was very satisfied with the outcome and the long hours our firm worked on his case, weekends included.

December 2014 (FELONIES DISMISSED!)- A Local Doctor has retained the attorneys of the Brogden Law Firm, LLC to defend 3 counts of sexual abuse levied against him by the District Attorney’s office of the 33rd judicial circuit.  The Doctor/client has maintained his innocence since day 1,  as there is absolutely no forensic or DNA evidence involved in this matter.  The client and the attorneys at the BLF, LLC eagerly forward to their day in court.  GENEVA COUNTY UPDATE – 2016 ALL INDICTMENTS LEVIED AGAINST THE BELOW DOCTOR HAVE BEEN DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE!  The BLF successfully vindicated their client, the Geneva Doctor, of ALL charges and he is still practicing medicine (and never stopped as the DEA nor the hospitals believed the allegations).  Another successful case for the Brogden Law Firm, LLC and its’ attorneys!

September 2014  (FELONIES REDUCED TO MISDEMEANOR!) The Brogden Law Firm has been retained to defend a Geneva County, Al Man charged with “Possessing Weapons Of Mass Destruction”.  The client maintains his innocence and looks forward to his day in trial as we believe the true evidence will reveal itself.  UPDATE – *** 2016 UPDATE ALL CHARGES HAVE BEEN REDUCED TO A SIMPLE MISDEMEANOR CHARGE WHEREIN THE BLF, LLC CLIENT PAID A SMALL FINE, WAS NOT ORDERED TO SPEND ONE DAY IN JAIL/PRISON AND HE HAS GONE ON WITH HIS LIFE AFTER THE ABI/FBI CLAIMED HE POSSESSED “WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION”, WHICH TURNED OUT TO BE A MISDEMEANOR CASE.

Brogden, Esq.’s oral “motion for a judgment of acquittal” (i.e., Directed Verdict) after two full (2) days of testimony and evidence during the ‘Wes Windham manslaughter trial’.   Meaning, Jason argued and subsequently convinced the trial Judge to simply dismiss ALL charges due to lack of evidence After two (2) days of testimony and evidence was put before the jury the Prosecutors! Jason R. Brogden’s client, Wes Windham, found NOT GUILTY of manslaughter indictment and NOT GUILTY of the lesser included offense of criminally negligent homicide. Another prime example of Jason R. Brogden and Robert H. Brogden, Esq. defending those charged with a violent crime, but during or after the trial their clients have been found to have reasonably defended themselves in self-defense!

September 2011 STATE v. COOK (NOT GUILTY OF MURDER – DALE COUNTY JURY)   Jason R. Brogden, Esq. and Robert H.

Evidence revealed the alleged victim drove to his home, was highly intoxicates and aggressively approached Mr. Cook as he attempted to take his son out of his car seat, and threatened the client with physical harm. The Dale County Jury found that Mr. Cook acted in self-defense and was justified in using deadly physical force to defend himself.  NOT GUILTY!
