REDUCED | DUI (.107 BAC) (2002004289CR): Mr. A. was stopped by Flagstaff Police for allegedly making a wide turn. He provided a breath test which revealed a .107 BAC. He did extremely well on Field Sobriety Tests. During the jury selection at trial, it became apparent that the jury was being more sympathetic to Defense Counsel than to the Prosecution. At that point our lawyer was able to negotiate a plea to Reckless Driving with zero days in jail.
REDUCED | DUI – State v. Ms. F. (DMC No. 7269) (Scottsdale City Court No. TR2007-013043): Officers were at 128th St. and Shea monitoring an accident when they saw Ms. F drive by without her lights on. They ultimately stopped her and arrested her for a DUI after she produced a Preliminary Breath Test of .103. We were able to demonstrate that she did well on the Field Sobriety Tests and that her driving was not egregious (she had simply left her lights off). Due to the fact that the State would have most likely lost at trial, they offered a Reckless Driving Plea with 0 days of jail.
REDUCED | DUI (.102 BAC) (DMC No. 9871) (Hassayampa Justice Court No. TR2010-157575): Mr. D. was stopped for allegedly failing to stop at a four way stop sign. He subsequently stopped and the officer did a field sobriety test and then a breath test which revealed a .102 breath alcohol content. The officer then booked Mr. D in jail overnight which interfered with his right to gather an independent blood test. We were able to convince the prosecutor to dismiss the DUI in exchange for a reckless driving and no further jail time.
REDUCED | DUI (.101 BAC) (Tempe City Court No.: 02-611369-1CR): Mr. T. was stopped for allegedly travelling 64 in a 40. After he was stopped, he performed poorly on field tests. He subsequently provided a .101 breath BAC. On the eve of trial, the state offered a plea to a reckless driving.
REDUCED at JURY TRIAL | EXTREME DUI – State v. Mr. R. (DMC No. 5351) (North Valley Justice Court TR04-06102CR): REDUCED at JURY TRIAL to RECKLESS with ZERO DAYS JAIL Police received a call regarding a man breaking a window at a house. Police were told that Mr. R. was now at a hotel suite. When the officer arrived at a hotel parking lot, he saw Mr. R. getting out of the vehicle and walking. He subsequently arrested him and he was taken to a station for DUI where he produced a .158 BAC breath test. Mr. R. asked for an “independent blood test”, and he was told he asked for that after he was booked. Once he was booked into jail, he never got the opportunity for an independent test. Just prior to jury trial, the State relented and agreed to dismiss the extreme DUI in exchange for a plea to “reckless driving” with zero days jail and a small fine.
FELONY AGGRAVATED DUI REDUCED to endangerment with 30 days jail – State v. Mr. G. (DMC No. 10427) (Maricopa County Superior Court CR2011-131229): Mr. G. was pulled over for allegedly speeding on 22nd Avenue and Devonshire. He was required to have an interlock device on his vehicle due to a prior DUI. When he was arrested for AGGRAVATED DUI, the officers indicated he tried to resist, and they then slammed him to the ground. The officers also admitted that he was originally pulled over for suspected drug dealing, then methamphetamine was found in his vehicle. We were able to convince the prosecutor to reduce the felony DUI (which carried a mandatory 4 months in prison, up to 3.75 years in prison) down to an endangerment with only 30 days in jail. We also had the felony POSSESSION of DANGEROUS DRUGS REDUCED to a misdemeanor POSSESSION of DRUG PARAPHERNELIA.
REDUCED | DUI (.095 BAC) (Scottsdale City Court No.:200216076CR): Mr. E. was stopped for travelling 75 in a 55. He told the officer he drank six (6) beers, and he performed poorly on the field sobriety tests. He also requested to speak to a lawyer prior to the field sobriety tests. Ultimately his blood came back at a .095, on the day of jury trial the state offered a plea to reckless driving with zero days in jail.
REDUCED | DUI (.095 BAC) (Tempe City Court No.:03-664286-1CR): Mr. F. was found asleep at the wheel of his car and at a red light. He admitted to drinking a rum and coke and that he had rotate cuff several weeks prior and was taking the drug Darvovet for pain. He performed poorly on field sobriety tests, and subsequently provided a .095 breath BAC. Because the blood was not tested for Darvovet, we were able to negotiate a plea to reckless driving with zero days in jail.
(Case Grande City Court No. TR2006-002357): Mr. W. was observed making a wide turn on McMurray Blvd. from N. Pinal Ave. in Casa Grande. He was subsequently stopped for DUI and provided a .095 breath test. On the day of trial, the prosecutor relented and offered a Reckless Driving disposition.
REDUCED | DUI (.095 BAC) (03618392CR): Mr. O. was stopped for speeding by Tempe Police. He subsequently provided a .095 breath test. We argued to the prosecutor that he did very well on his Field Sobriety Tests and that the case was factually insufficient. Subsequently, he was allowed to plead to Reckless Driving with zero days in jail.
