A New Zealand Criminal Defense lawyer is under heat from the New Zealand Law Society for allegedly using content on his website that claims or suggests that he can get people off drunk-driving charges. The New Zealand Attorney has since taken down the web page which allegedly made such claims.
Barrister Patrick Winkler’s law firm website allegedly made claims that he can use technicalities and/or loopholes in order to get clients off and/or keep them out of jail.
The New Zealand Law Society is considering a formal investigation over the website advertisement .
According to several news sources, Mr Winkler says that he can see how some of the elements of his no longer published web page could have given rise to certain interpretations, but he is defending his role. He says he is not in the business of handling cases involving death or serious injury and does not underestimate the pain of those who have been in serious crashes or lost loved ones in serious crashes.
