Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol (DUI) – Charges Dismissed and License Reinstated

My client was in an accident wherein she rear-ended a vehicle in front of her on the roadway. When officers arrived, they found cannabis in her purse and in her vehicle. At the police station, my client performed field sobriety tests in which the officer determined that she failed. My client admitted to smoking cannabis prior to driving. The officer charged her with DUI and possession of cannabis. My client was going to have her license suspended for 1 year because she refused to go to the hospital to have blood drawn and a urine test. Our office immediately filed paperwork to prevent her license from being suspended for 1 year. On the first court date, I spoke with the prosecutor and explained to him how the officers made mistakes in all aspects of this case. I showed him how it was an unlawful search of her purse and vehicle. I also explained how the officers administered the field sobriety tests incorrectly. I was confident that I would beat the case at trial. Because of the issues I showed the prosecutor, he agreed to dismiss the DUI, dismiss the possession of cannabis and agree to remove the 1 year suspension! My client plead guilty to failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident, received supervision for that charge and ALL OTHER CHARGES WERE DISMISSED!
