The defendant was charged with driving on a suspended license with knowledge due to a pending DUI charge. Upon meeting with the firm’s attorney, the defendant was adamant that although she knew she had a pending DUI charge, she was unaware that her license was suspended from it. When the State would not back down from seeking a 45 day jail sentence, the firm’s attorney took the case to trial. During trial, counsel cross examined the arresting officers of both the suspended license charge and the pending DUI charge. Despite the State’s efforts to claim the Defendant must have had knowledge, counsel persuaded the Judge otherwise. Our client was found NOT GUILTY and was completely acquitted of all charges.
