The client was stopped for expired tag by law enforcement. Once stopped the officer noticed the client seemed impaired by alcohol and asked the client to perform field sobriety exercises. The client performed poorly and as a result was arrested for DUI and taken to jail. At the jail the client provided a breath sample nearly twice the legal limit. The firm was hired for the case and it began negotiating with the state attorney’s office. It was argued by the firm that the client was extremely cooperative in the case, the client had no previous criminal charges, and that there was no dangerous driving pattern. The State agreed and dismissed the DUI.
