The Client was charged with DUI after being involved in an accident. When law enforcement arrived on the scene of the crash they observed indicators of impairment being exhibited by the Client and asked him to perform roadside sobriety exercises, which he performed poorly on. The Client was then arrested and refused to perform a breath test. The Firm investigated the case and discovered that the officers instructed the Client to state that he wasn’t feeling any pain so he wouldn’t have to be cleared by the hospital. In addition, the Client refused the breath test, but otherwise was cooperative, had no prior criminal history and his insurance took care of all the property damage. After the Firm had several conversations regarding these issues with the State, the State agreed to dismiss the DUI charges.
