CHARGE: OUI liquor

Result: Not Guilty! Jury Trial (License Restored)

She called the police and when they arrived they ordered him out of the car and administered so-called Field Sobriety Tests. After claiming he failed the tests and noticing a smell of alcohol on his breath, my client was charged with OUI. On the day of trial, I successfully argued enough reasonable doubt to secure a Not Guilty. My client’s license is fully restored and the case is closed!

CHARGE: OUI liquor or Over .08 Breath Test, Negligent Operation
Result: Motion to Suppress Breath Test Results allowed and Motion to Dismiss Allowed; Trial

At the scene, the police claimed to find nips of alcohol near my client who was unconscious outside of his burning vehicle. At the hospital his blood was taken and the alcohol results converted to a .23 – .25 breath test result. On the day of trial, I successfully argued that the medical records were not properly certified and suppressed the results from evidence in the case. Subsequently, I secured a dismissal of all charges after successfully challenging that key prosecution witnesses could not properly identify my client under applicable legal standards. My client’s license is fully restored and the case is closed!

CHARGE: Drug Trafficking (Class A Heroin)
Result: Motion to Dismiss Allowed and 3 and ½ year mandatory prison sentence avoided!
