Case Results

Out of Prison Early

A client’s family turned to Anthony W. Nunnally after their loved one had already served eight months of a 45-month prison sentence. The client had initially accepted a plea deal to avoid the risk of going to trial, as the evidence against him appeared overwhelming. However, the family discovered new evidence and hired Anthony to investigate whether this could lead to a modification or reduction of the sentence.

Anthony began by meticulously reviewing the case files, examining the new evidence, and interviewing witnesses. He also contacted the original prosecutors to discuss the circumstances of the initial plea. Through careful investigation, Anthony uncovered significant weaknesses in the evidence, which cast doubt on the validity of the second-degree felony charges, which carried sentences of up to 15 years each.

Using this information, Anthony filed a Motion to Vacate the plea, arguing that the plea had been entered under circumstances that no longer held up under scrutiny. He successfully persuaded the court to transfer the client from state prison to county jail, pending further proceedings. Anthony negotiated a time-served outcome in court, downgrading the charges to misdemeanors.

This result allowed the client to walk free after less than a year in prison instead of serving nearly four years as originally sentenced. This case exemplifies Anthony’s dedication to uncovering the truth and his ability to fight for justice, even in cases where the odds seem stacked against the client. By combining investigative diligence, legal expertise, and strong advocacy, Anthony achieved an extraordinary outcome for his client and their family.

Full Policy Limits Secured

In one personal injury case, Anthony W. Nunnally represented a client who suffered significant injuries in a car accident caused by an at-fault driver with minimal insurance coverage. The accident involved a severe impact: the at-fault driver struck the client’s vehicle, pushing it into a pole. Despite the serious injuries, the at-fault driver’s policy only provided $10,000 in bodily injury coverage.

Anthony quickly recovered the entire $10,000 from the at-fault driver’s insurance policy, ensuring the client received the maximum amount available under that coverage. However, Anthony didn’t stop there. He recognized the client’s significant medical needs and financial losses and pursued the client’s own Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM) policy.

Through diligent negotiation with the client’s insurance company, Anthony secured the full $100,000 available under the UM/UIM policy. This total recovery of $110,000 allowed the client to cover their medical expenses and the necessary treatments for their injuries.

This case highlights Anthony’s ability to maximize compensation for his clients, even when the initial coverage available from the at-fault party seems inadequate. By exploring every avenue of recovery, Anthony ensures his clients receive the financial resources they need to heal and move forward. His expertise in personal injury law and insurance negotiations allowed him to deliver an exceptional result for his clients.

$200,000+ in Compensation Despite Prior Injuries

A client with a complex medical history, including several prior injuries from car accidents and a physically demanding career, sought the help of Anthony W. Nunnally after a new accident threatened their ability to recover compensation. The at-fault driver in the accident initially fled the scene, complicating the case. Furthermore, the client’s history of pre-existing conditions made it challenging to connect their current injuries directly to the crash.

Anthony took on the case with determination, conducting a thorough investigation into the accident. He worked to establish the at-fault driver’s liability despite their initial failure to stop at the scene. Anthony built a strong case showing the driver’s negligence by collecting evidence, interviewing witnesses, and reconstructing the crash events.

In addition, Anthony tackled the issue of the client’s pre-existing conditions by collaborating with medical experts who could differentiate between the injuries caused by the new accident and those from prior incidents. These expert testimonies played a critical role in countering the defense’s argument that the client’s injuries were unrelated to the crash.

Despite the challenges, Anthony persisted in litigation, pushing back against the defense’s attempts to minimize the client’s compensation. His efforts paid off, resulting in a settlement of over $200,000 for the client. This outcome provided significant financial relief, covering medical expenses and compensating for the pain and suffering caused by the accident.

Wrongful Suspension Overturned

A client with a history of DUI convictions across multiple states faced a major legal setback after moving back to Florida. Although the client successfully obtained a driver’s license from the local DMV, the Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) later discovered the client’s record of DUIs and imposed a multi-year driver’s license suspension. The client was subsequently arrested for driving with a suspended license.

Recognizing the injustice, the client turned to Anthony W. Nunnally for help. Anthony began by carefully reviewing the timeline of the client’s convictions and the statutory requirements for the suspension. He discovered that the five-year period for applying the suspension had already lapsed, making the FLHSMV’s action invalid.

Anthony conducted a multi-state investigation to confirm the dates and circumstances of the client’s DUI convictions. Armed with this information, he presented evidence to the FLHSMV showing that the suspension was wrongful. He also filed legal motions to challenge the suspension and worked with the prosecutor to review the arrest charges.

Anthony’s efforts resulted in the client’s driver’s license being fully reinstated and the multi-year suspension lifted. Additionally, Anthony successfully persuaded the prosecutor to dismiss the criminal charge of driving with a suspended license.

This case demonstrates Anthony’s thoroughness and dedication to protecting his client’s rights. By delving into complex details and advocating effectively across state lines, he secured a complete restoration of his client’s driving privileges and cleared their criminal record.
