DUI Charge Reduction Success

The Case: Facing Severe Penalties

Our client was charged with Driving Under the Influence (DUI), facing severe penalties including license suspension, hefty fines, and the possibility of jail time. DUI charges can have long-lasting impacts on an individual’s life, affecting their employment, insurance rates, and personal reputation.

Our Approach: Meticulous Investigation and Strategic Negotiation

Understanding the gravity of the situation, our legal team at SpeedTicketDefense.com embarked on a thorough investigation of the case. We examined every detail of the arrest process, from the initial traffic stop to the administration of sobriety tests and the arrest procedures. Our goal was to identify any procedural errors or inconsistencies that could work in favor of our client.

Identifying Procedural Errors

Our meticulous investigation revealed several procedural errors during the arrest process:

Improper Traffic Stop: The arresting officer did not have a valid reason for the initial traffic stop, which is a critical element in any DUI case.
Faulty Sobriety Tests: The field sobriety tests administered were not conducted according to standardized procedures, casting doubt on their accuracy.
Inadequate Miranda Warning: Our client was not properly informed of their rights at the time of arrest, a significant procedural oversight.

Negotiating the Charge Reduction

Armed with these findings, our team entered into negotiations with the prosecution. We presented the procedural errors, arguing that they compromised the integrity of the case against our client. Our well-prepared and compelling arguments persuaded the prosecution to reconsider the severity of the charges.

The Outcome: Charge Reduced to Reckless Driving

Through our diligent efforts, we successfully negotiated a reduction of the DUI charge to reckless driving. This outcome significantly lowered the penalties for our client:

No Jail Time: Our client avoided the possibility of serving jail time.
Reduced Fines: The fines associated with reckless driving are considerably lower than those for a DUI.
License Retention: Instead of a lengthy suspension, our client faced a much shorter period of restricted driving privileges.
