The Defendant was then arrested for DUI. The Defendant refused to submit to a breath test. DMV Results: The firm was able to get the DMV to invalidate the 1 year suspension for refusing to submit to a breath test allowing the Defendant to get his driver’s license back immediately with no restrictions. Criminal Case Results: The firm filed a motion to suppress and the State dropped the DUI charge.
