I don't think I won that case.

I had a client show up falling down drunk to a sentencing hearing for a DUI. Literally falling down and I had to help her stand there in front of the judge. My judge also would not give me a continuance. My client was supposed to get probation, but ended up with jail time. Starting right that minute.
