Second DWI – ALR Hearing
Client pulled over on a major highway for speeding and a missing tail light and was subsequently arrested for a second DWI after the officer saw two open containers of beer in the cup holders. At the administrative license revocation (ALR) hearing, we successfully argued that DPS could not establish my client’s alcohol concentration at the time he was operating his vehicle. The judge found our argument persuasive and denied the request by DPS to suspend our client’s driver’s license.

Possession Of Marijuana And A Controlled Substance
The client was driving home from a friend’s house and was stopped for failure to signal. At the motion to suppress hearing, the court heard testimony and granted the motion, which excluded all evidence acquired by the officer inadmissible at trial. Without any evidence, the state was forced to dismiss all charges, and the client is now eligible to have the arrest and charges expunged from his record.

DWI First
Client was driving home from a birthday party when pulled over for failure to signal a lane change.

After extensive discovery review and persistent negotiations, the prosecutor agreed to lower the charges to a first DWI.
