D U I :  Client Win


June 2008


This young man was on his 2nd DUI we handled his first DUI and it was not an easy case.  We unfortunately lost his DOL hearing but we managed to get his DUI reduced to Reckless driving through aggressive negotiating.

This case was equally as difficult.  Our client was stopped for making an unlawful turn that caused him to travel the wrong way down an arterial street for several hundred feet and his breath test was twice the legal limit (.16).            
 
 
  We convinced the prosecutor that his breath test was inadmissible and won DOL despite the loss of the breath test the prosecutor would not negotiate and our client was facing 30 days in jail.  We encouraged our client to go to trial and not to plead guilty like the prosecutor wanted.            

At trial we showed the jury all the mistakes the police officer made and they returned a verdict of not guilty.            

The client was really afraid to go to trial but we knew he had no other way to avoid the jail time.  We asked him to trust us and have faith.  What a great feeling to win for this young man.            

He has recently obtained a new job, which he can happily drive to, and he is doing great! No offense but we hope he never has to visit our office again.
