Client crossed the centerline and cop car had to swerve to avoid collision. Then he ran stop sign and almost hit the median barrier. At trial, cop said his speech was slurred and that he failed a couple of field tests.  I pointed out to the judge he walked 9 steps out and 9 steps back without losing his balance and passed one of the tests with flying colors. Judge agreed. Not guilty.

Client was seen speeding almost twice the limit. Cop put on his blues and siren but he did not stop. He pulled into a parking space in a crooked manner, had red, glassy, bloodshot eyes, an odor of alcohol, slurred speech and had to lean against the car to reach into the glove compartment. I obtained his medical records showing he had a chronic disease which would explain many of these observations and submitted the medical records  into evidence at trial.

Even though his prior OUI was over 30 years previously, client was arrested and charged as a second offender. After refusing the breath test at the station house, the RMV suspended him for three full years. To challenge this, the fight must be started within fifteen calendar days. I walked him through the complex process of how to do this and ultimately a judge restored his license. This saved him three full years without any form of license whatever.
