The Client was stopped for speeding on the interstate. Once the Client was stopped the officer observed the driver to have bloodshot and glassy eyes and observed the odor of alcohol and slurred speech. The Client then conducted field sobriety exercises and performed poorly on them. The Officer then arrested the Client and took him to the Breath Alcohol Testing Facility. The Client then gave a breath sample more than double the legal limit. The firm reviewed the case and requested that his DUI charge be dismissed based upon the Clients lack of a prior record and the fact that the Client checked himself into treatment voluntarily before his case was even finished. The State agreed and dismissed the DUI charges.
