Charge: DUI

DUI

51-year-old client was questioned by an officer following an auto accident with another vehicle. The other driver was deemed to be at fault, however, the client was questioned by the officer due to knowledge of client's drug history. The officer claimed that he smelled "something sweet/meth" on client's person, and did a search of the car. No drugs were found. Client was arrested and charged with a single count of DUI less safe. He submitted to a blood test that came back positive for methamphetamine, among other drugs. Considering that the client was not responsible for the auto accident and that drugs in one's system does not equate to an impaired/less safe driver per se, the prosecutor agreed that the client should not have been arrested and dismissed the charge.

Case #: 24-XXXX

Charge: Driving While Unlicensed

Traffic

Our client was charged with driving without a license. She was going through the immigration process and needed transportation for work, like the rest of us. Unfortunately, this led to her getting a ticket, which was frustrating since she had already been waiting through the slow immigration process to get her drivers license. In negotiating with the state, we helped them empathize with the client’s circumstances and agree to continue the case to give her enough time to get her license. This was successful, as we worked with the client to make sure she obtained her license before the next court date. When we showed up with her newly issued Georgia drivers license, the state agreed to dismiss the case. The client was thrilled that she no longer had this hanging over her head as something that could interfere with the already complicated immigration process.

Case #: 23-T-XXXX Public Drunkenness

Charge: Public Drunkenness

Felony/Other

Our client was charged with CMV parts violation and Public Drunkenness. He was licensed in Florida with a CDL, which he needed to perform his job. No evidence was provided by the State regarding Public Drunkenness, so I asked the prosecutor to dismiss that charge. The prosecutor agreed.

I then discussed the CMV parts violation, which our client acted proactively to repair before the police officer even arrived. I showed the prosecutor the repair receipt with timestamps to compare to the citation, confirming our client’s assertion that he got the car fixed immediately, before law enforcement arrived at the scene. I asked for a dismissal of that charge on that basis, and the prosecutor agreed. Instead of receiving 3 points on his license and possibly losing his job as a commercial driver, our client had no consequences whatsoever because all charges were dismissed (rightfully so)."
