Law enforcement made contact with the Client when they received a call that the Client’s vehicle was parked in a parking lot of a business but not in an actual parking spot.  The Client was found to be asleep in the vehicle with it running.  Once awakened the Client could not get the vehicle into park easily and exhibited numerous signs of impairment by alcohol.  The Client was arrested for DUI and transported to the Palm Beach County Jail where the Client missed the chair when asked to sit prior to refusing to take a breath test.  The Firm was hired on the case and argued to the State that the Client may have been in the car with it running and keys in the vehicle, but it cannot be clearly argued what the Client’s impairment level was when she was awake.  In addition, the Client had a clean criminal record and was cooperative with law enforcement in its beginning phases.  The State agreed to dismiss the DUI charge.
