The time our client was arrested and jailed for driving drunk was one of the worst nights of their life. It seemed like the end. A DUI conviction would be severely damaging to their future, possibly even ending their career. Desperate, they hired us. After sifting through the case evidence, the stop appeared problematic. The arresting officer’s subsequent investigation, including their performance of the National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration’s Standardized Field Sobriety Tests (i.e., horizontal gaze nystagmus, walk and turn, and one leg stand evaluations) gave us pause, too. We made our client’s case to the prosecutor and they agreed. The charge was dropped to a less serious traffic violation. Our client will have no points on their license, and no more jail time.
