Case #: 2018CT########
Charge: DUI
DUI
The Client was Charged with DUI after he was stopped for speeding. Once the Client was stopped the Officer immediately noticed signs of impairment by alcohol. The Client performed poorly on the roadside exercises and was then arrested for DUI. Once at the jail the Client refused to provide a breath sample. In addition, at the time of the Client's arrest he was still on bond for another previous DUI he had received no more than two months prior. Because the Client had two open DUI counts the Court had revoked his bond on his first DUI, and the Client was stuck in jail. The Firm was able to get the Client out of jail on both DUI charges. However, the State was requesting a significant amount of additional jail to resolve both DUI charges. The Firm investigated both charges and discovered that while one DUI charge was an extremely poor case for the Client, the other case was actually quite good for the Client to take to trial. The State agreed and dismissed the Client's second DUI case and resolved the other to no jail.

Case #: 2018CT######
Charge: DUI
DUI
The Client was charged with DUI after she was involved in a crash. The Client was immediately taken to the hospital where she got into several arguments with law enforcement and the nursing staff. The Officer smelled alcohol on the Client and noticed she seemed impaired. The Officer asked the Client for a legal blood sample, which she refused to give. However, the nursing staff then took a medical blood sample from the Client which showed she was more than three times over the legal limit. The Firm investigated the case and discovered that the Officer improperly requested the medical blood result from hospital staff. As a result, any evidence showing the Client's blood alcohol level was inadmissible. The State agreed and dismissed the DUI.

Case #: 2019CT*******
Charge: DUI
DUI
The Client was allegedly involved in an accident. Once on the scene law enforcement believed that he was impaired by alcohol and requested he perform sobriety exercises. The Client refused to perform said exercises and was then arrested for DUI. Once at the jail the Client refused to provide a breath sample. The Firm was retained and immediately began to investigate the case. The Firm discovered that there was very little, if any, evidence placing the Client behind the wheel of the vehicle. In addition, because the Client refused all sobriety exercises and the breath test, there was hardly any evidence regarding his impairment. The State agreed with the Firm's assessment of the case and dismissed the charges entirely.
