CLEAT Legal is There When You Need Them Most

CLEAT Senior Attorney Richard Carter was one of the attorneys responding to the scene.

CLEAT Attorney Craig Driskell was one of the attorneys responding to the scene.

All three CLEAT Staff attorneys responded to a multiple officer critical incident in Fort Worth on Tuesday, July 12th.  At least three officers were forced to protect their safety when a suspect refused to lower his weapon and raised the firearm toward them placing their lives and safety in jeopardy.  The suspect, a felony fugitive, had been barricaded in his home and vowed not to be taken alive.  He exited the home and died in the ensuing confrontation with officers.  Fortunately, there were no injuries to our officers during the incident.  The response by CLEAT attorneys to this incident is commended and shows CLEAT’s dedication to representing our officers in times when legal representation is needed most.  Thanks go to Richard Carter, Craig Driskell and Ray Hosack for their professional services. Bobby Garcia, CLEAT Staff Attorney in the RGV, was the On-Call attorney who received the initial call for service and notified the responding attorneys of the incident.  Great job by all!
