Congratulations to Tyler Beach on a Restitution Win!

When someone commits a crime and that crime causes someone else to lose money or value to property, the person who lost money or value can ask the court to make the criminal defendant pay for the loss.  This request and obligation is called restitution.  Unfortunately, people know that there is little oversight over this process and often this process if abused.  Mr. Beach had a case where we agreed that our client had caused $14,000 in medical bills.  However, the person decided he wished to receive $41,000.  Mr. Beach, naturally challenged that number reversal.  Through cross examination, Mr. Beach convinced the judge that this was a falsely excessive claim.  The judge accordingly reduced the amount to what was actually supported by the bills – just as Mr. Beach wanted from the beginning.
