A driver experiencing road rage followed Attorney Jordan’s client to his home, threatened him, and then drove away. The client assumed the incident was over, but soon found himself charged with five serious offenses, including multiple assault counts and felony firearm.

The prosecution portrayed the defendant as an aggressor, while Attorney Jordan demonstrated that he was a family man with a stable career who had never been involved in any criminal proceedings. During the jury trial before Judge Lawrence S. Talon in the 3rd Circuit Court, Attorney Jordan walked the jury through the events, clarifying how his client became the target of another driver’s aggression.

Attorney Jordan emphasized what a felony conviction would mean for the defendant’s professional life and family, helping jurors understand the real-life context of the case.

After a five-day trial, the jury returned Not Guilty verdicts on four of the five charges. The remaining count—assault and battery—was reduced to a misdemeanor. The client was sentenced to one year of probation.
