Our client was detained by law enforcement in the client’s garage for suspicion of DUI. The client refused both roadside sobriety tests and the breath test. After a thorough analysis of the evidence, Mr. Sullivan found legal issues associated with the initial contact with our client. These issues were presented to both the DMV and the State Attorney. At the DMV hearing, the hearing officer invalidated our client’s license suspension. At the criminal case, the legal issues were used to leverage a reduction in the charge from DUI to the infraction of Careless Driving.

Our client was the subject of a traffic stop for “weaving within his lane.” After analyzing the evidence, Mr. Sullivan beleived that there was not sufficient evidence to conduct a traffic stop on the vehicle, despite the fact that after he was stopped, our client looked less than stellar on video.

Our client was charged with a fourth offense DUI and was facing a lifetime loss of his license. The client hired Mr. Sullivan to defend his case shortly after the arrest.

In the criminal case, Mr. Sullivan reviewed all discovery and evidence which revealed several factual and legal defenses. These issues were brought to the attention of the State Attorney who ultimately agreed to amend the Felony DUI to a misdemeanor reckless driving. Our client was able to resolve the case with no DUI conviction, no loss of license and no jail time.

Our client was involved in a minor traffic accident which led to a DUI investigation. Following arrest, our client submitted to breath test with results of .13/.12.

Our client was charged with a fourth offense DUI involving a DUI on a bicycle. Our office presented mitigating facts and circumstances to the State Attorney prior to any charges being filed.

Our client was the subject of a traffic stop for erratic driving. Although our client performed well on field sobriety tests, he was nevertheless arrested for DUI. Multiple open containers were located in his vehicle. Following his arrest, our client provided breath results that were above the legal limit. Mr. Sullivan performed an audit of the intoxilyzer used to test our client’s breath alcohol level. He discovered that the breath test operator had an expired permit to operate the machine. Mr. Sullivan presented this to the State and the state agreed to reduce the charge from DUI to Reckless Driving.

Our client was stopped by law enforcement after a citizen reported erratic driving. Law enforcement conducted a DUI investigation for which our client was arrested. Following her arrest, our client submitted breath results that were .22 and .22.

Our client was stopped for driving at an excessive speed and charged with Racing on a Highway. Law enforcement detected indicators of impairment and placed our client under arrest for DUI. Following arrest, our client provided breath samples with results of .12 and .11. Mr. Sullivan negotiated a global resolution that resulted in no conviction for any crime. The DUI was reduced to Reckless Driving and the Racing on a Highway charge, which itself carries a 1 year suspension, was amended to Speeding.
