The Client was stopped by law enforcement for traveling 105mph in a posted 65mph zone. Once stopped the Officer observed that the client was looking very sleepy, had the odor of alcohol about his person and that he had slurred speech. The Client then conducted field sobriety exercises and performed poorly. The Officer arrested the Client and transported him to the jail where he gave a breath sample that was twice the legal limit. The Firm spoke with the Assistant State Attorney with regard to the Client’s case and the fact that the Client cooperated fully and, absent the present case, had a completely clean record for his entire life. The State then agreed to dismiss the DUI charge. In addition, because the Firm also won the Client’s formal hearing with the DMV on a legal technicality, no evidence of a DUI charge will appear on the Client’s driving record.
