More About Criminal DefenseIn a case remanded from the Court of Appeals, Attorney Thomas Erb successfully argued that all the child support issues involved were res judicata, meaning they cannot be litigated more than once if it has already been definitively resolved by a prior judgment. By applying this principle, Erb Legal ensured that the matters in question were recognized as previously settled. Consequently, the court ordered our client to pay only the state minimum child support award after comprehensive briefing and arguments. This result underscores our commitment to achieving just outcomes for our clients by preventing unnecessary re-litigation of settled issues.
