The Client’s vehicle was detained after law enforcement found him passed out in the middle of the street. The police began a DUI investigation and discovered that the Client seemed to be impaired and arrested the Client for DUI. Once at the jail the Client provided a breath sample that was twice the legal limit. The Firm began an investigation into the case and requested that the State allow the Client into the First Time Offender’s program. The State initially agreed, then discovered that the Client had a prior arrest for DUI, which disqualified him from the program. But the Firm was able to convince the State to allow him to receive a reckless driving charge instead of a DUI based upon the fact that the Client had relied upon the State’s initial offer and completed several of the required terms that are needed to be accepted into the program.
