Our case studies provide a closer look at how we’ve helped clients navigate challenging DUI charges and achieve favorable outcomes. While every case is different, these examples highlight our strategic approach, dedication, and commitment to protecting our clients’ rights and futures.
The Defendant was stopped after law enforcement observed multiple moving violations. Our client exhibited some signs of impairment and ultimately declined roadside sobriety tets and breath testing. Our office presented mitigation to the State, and the prosecutor agreed to amend the charge from DUI to Reckless Driving.
The Defendant was stopped for failing to maintain a single lane. She exhibited indicators of impairment and law enforcement elected to conduct FSE’s. After roadside testing, our client was placed under arrest. Following the arrest, the client submitted to breath testing which yielded a result of .09, just above the legal limit. Our office submitted mitigation to the State, and the prosecutor agreed to amend the charge from DUI to Reckless Driving. Additionally, our office was able to secure a “Withhold of Adjudication.” This means that our client was not convicted of reckless driving, and will be eligible to seal the record of arrest.

This was a second offense DUI as well as a charge of refusal to submit to testing.

This careful legal analysis resulted in the driver’s license suspension being invalidated, as well as the DUI charge being reduced to Reckless Driving.
