State v. Mr. P. (DMC No.)

State v. Mr. P. (San Marcos Justice Court No. TR2006166071): Mr. P. was driving his friend’s car (in which his friend was a passenger), when they had a collision with the containment wall on the I-10. The passenger had struck his head, and Mr. P. drove to an apartment complex parking lot where parked the vehicle and walked away. His passenger then called 911 and police made contact with Mr. P. They were not going to arrest him for DUI because too much time had passed, yet they did cite him for Hit & Run. We were able to show that since his passenger knew who he was and where to find him, this was not truly “leaving the scene of an accident” without an exchange of information. The State agreed and amended the charge to a civil speeding ticket with a minor fine.

State v. Mr. B (Case No. 2006056073)(DMC No.)

(Mesa Municipal Court No. 2006056073): Mr. B. was driving with his wife when another vehicle pulled out directly in front of him. The other vehicle kept cutting off Mr. B. and was slamming on his brakes. The other driver slammed on his brakes and caused Mr. B. to rear-end him. The other driver took off, and Mr. B. pulled over to check out the damage to his vehicle. When Mr. B. was back on the roadway, the other driver pulled up next to him and said he had called police. We were able to show that Mr. B. had not absconded from the area, therefore the criminal charge was dismissed and he was issued only a speeding ticket.

State v. Mr. O (DMC No. 7059)

NOT CHARGED | HIT & RUN –  (DMC No. 7059) (Mesa Police Department): Mr. O.’s vehicle was seen by a witness making a wide turn, running through a brick wall, and then catching on fire. Multiple people got out of the vehicle and left the area. The police contacted Mr. O. (because he was the vehicle’s owner) and he refused to speak with police. The owner of the wall later talked with Mr. O., and Mr. O. allegedly admitted to driving. We were able to provide insurance information to the victim, and convince the Mesa City Prosecutor’s Office not to file charges.

State v. Mr. W (DMC No. 7088)

NOT CHARGED | FELONY AGGRAVATED DUI (DMC No. 7088) (Chandler Police Department): Mr. W. had 3 prior DUI’s, including a prior felony DUI in which he had spent a year in prison. He was pulled over for allegedly turning wide and not having his taillights on. He admitted to drinking and was given Field Sobriety Tests, which he performed very well. He subsequently had his blood drawn, which came back below the legal limit. Although Mr. W. was facing 3 to 6 years in prison, we were able to convince the prosecutors that they had no chance at beating us at trial, and they chose not to charge Mr. W. with Aggravated DUI.

State v. Ms. R (DMC No. 3787)

NOT CHARGED | FELONY AGGRAVATED DUI (Prescription Drugs) (DMC No. 3787) (Glendale Police Department): Ms. R. was driving when she was involved in a rear-end collision and knocked unconscious. Her children were in the vehicle with her and were under 15 years of age, which made this an Aggravated (felony) DUI. The police determined that she was under the influence of prescription drugs, and they attempted to get her to sign a consent form for them to draw her blood. She would not do so. The hospital drew blood for medical purposes, and gave a vial to the police at the officer’s request. Due to potential issues with the manner in which the police obtained her blood sample, the prosecutor chose not to file charges.

State v. Mr. C (DMC No. 4245)

NOT CHARGED | FELONY AGGRAVATED DUI (DMC No. 4245) (San Marcos Justice Court): Mr. C. had a prior DUI approximately 4 years prior to being stopped for this DUI. He failed to appear in Court and a warrant was issued for his arrest, which had suspended his driver’s license. When he was pulled over for this DUI, it became designated as an Aggravated (felony) DUI due to his license suspension. He told the officers he’d only had 3 beers, and they drew his blood. Because of his body weight and the amount of alcohol he’d consumed, we were able to inform the prosecutor that his BAC would be below the legal limit. In addition, we had a good argument as to whether he knew that his license was suspended. Based on this, the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office choose to dismiss the case and not submit it for felony charges. This saved Mr. C. from facing 4 months in prison.

State v. Mr. A. (DMC No. 3954)

NOT CHARGED | FELONY AGGRAVATED DUI – State v. Mr. A. (DMC No. 3954) (Phoenix Police Department): Mr. A. was stopped for an alleged traffic violation and officers indicated that his license was revoked because of a prior DUI. Blood was drawn, which eventually revealed a .090% BAC. Mr. A. was subsequently cited for Aggravated (felony) DUI and was facing 4 months in prison. We were able to convince the prosecutor that Mr. A. had a valid Arizona license because he obtained it after he left the state of New Mexico without knowledge that his New Mexico license had been revoked. We convince the prosecutor not to bring any charges against Mr. A.

State v. Ms. K (DMC No.)

State v. Ms. K. (University Lakes Justice Court No. TR2006-157020CR): Ms. K. was pulled over because an independent witness called police and claimed she was swerving. When she was stopped, she told officers that somebody must have spiked her drink. She subsequently provided a breath test which revealed a .179 BAC. Due to the fact that we were able to convince the prosecutor that we had a reasonable chance of succeeding at trial based on somebody slipping the client a “mickey,” they reduced the charges from a 2nd offense Extreme DUI (thereby subjecting Ms. K. to 120 days in jail) down to a 1st offense Extreme DUI in which she served only 10 days in jail.-crimes”>click here.

State vs. Ms. N (DMC No. 9477)

State vs. Ms. N. (DMC No. 9477) (Maricopa County Superior Court No. CR2009-175984): Ms. M. was driving along the freeway when she had passed another vehicle in the HOV lane.  This vehicle was tailgating her and she tapped her brakes in order for him to slow down.  As she was changing lanes to exit the freeway, she heard a noise behind her but did not know what it was.  Police then left a message that they were trying to contact her regarding a hit and run accident with numerous injuries.  We were eventually able to convince the prosecutor’s office to charge only an endangerment instead of the more serious of felony hit and run.  Although endangerment was still a felony, we were able to work up the case and conduct a photo lineup with the alleged victim.   He was not able to identify Ms. M., and the state agreed to reduce charges to a misdemeanor hit and run charge that involved probation and no jail time.  Originally Ms. M. was facing a potential of 5-15 years in prison for an aggravated assault.
