Another DUI Dismissed!

Today I had the pleasure of obtaining another great result for a client that really deserved it. This guy got stopped for crossing the center line and blew .08 on the first test and .07 on the second blow. He got charged with OWI and retained me to fight for him. After I examined the case I beleived that it was very weak for the prosecutor and he did not have enough evidence to have better than a 50/50 chance of conviction. When we showed up for trial and I was ready to go and began talking to the prosecutor about how the cop didn't properly evaluate the field sobriety tests and how my client blew one test over and one under, I told him he had problems with this case. He talked to the police officer and then asked me if my guy would take a deal for a civil infraction ticket and he would dismiss the DUI charge. Rather than take the chance that he might posssibly be convicted ( you never know what a jury will do at trial) he took the deal and walked away with a $185 fine, no probation, no alcohol classes or treatment, no license suspension, no random testing, no driver responsibility fees and , most importantly, no criminal record. Wow, what a huge advantage for him. It makes me feel good that he was so thrilled with the result and that I could help him see fair justice.
