The Client was stopped for driving his vehicle at 10mph in a 35mph zone and swerving all over the roadway. Once the Officer made contact with the Client he was able to determine that the Client was impaired by alcohol. The Officer requested that the Client perform field sobriety exercises. The Client performed said exercises poorly and was arrested for DUI. Once at the jail the Client refused to provide a breath sample. The Firm investigated the case and brought it to the State’s attention that the Client had a disability with respect to his ability to give a breath sample, and in addition had no prior criminal history. In light of the Client’s disability and absence of a criminal record, the State agreed to dismiss the DUI.
