The Client was stopped for an improper U-turn.  Once stopped law enforcement noticed an odor of alcohol and immediately went to the assumption that the Client was DUI.  The Client, who was over 80 years old, was ordered out of the car and asked to perform field sobriety exercises, to which she performed poorly.  She was then arrested for DUI and provided a breath sample that was a .000.  In addition, she also provided a urine sample to screen for controlled substances.  The Client hired the firm and an email was immediately sent to the State Attorney’s office telling them that they had just arrested and charged a woman with DUI, when she was actually sober.  The email detailed the inconsistencies in the State’s case ranging from an odor of alcohol and perceived impairment by alcohol to the fact that the Client blew a .000.  It was also mentioned that the sobriety exercises are not meant for someone of her age.  After a review the State decided that the Firm was correct and the case could not be proven.  All criminal charges were dismissed.
