DISMISSED | DUI (Phoenix Municipal Court No. 2972842CR): Ms. W. was stopped for allegedly traveling 25 mph in a 40 mph zone. Although she did not perform well on Field Sobriety Tests, she was offered a breath test by the officer. The breath test resulted in an “interferent detected/no viable readings obtained.” We convinced the prosecutor that the reading would be suppressed, and the DUI was dismissed.
(Scottsdale Municipal Court No. 1577232CR): Mr. T. was stopped by City of Scottsdale Police for an alleged wide right turn and a license plate light being out. We were able to explain that Mr. T.’s wide right turn was due to the fact that he had two female passengers in his car. In addition, he did quite well on Field Sobriety Tests. This resulted in his DUI being dismissed.

Police were informed that Mr. A. had been drinking at Harold’s bar and became combative. He was ultimately arrested for DUI and was taken to the station where he requested a lawyer and refused to take any blood tests.

(Phoenix Municipal Court No. 8970876CR): Mr. H. was stopped for an alleged DUI in June. The Phoenix City Prosecutor’s Office was unable to proceed to trial in October, and the case was dismissed.

He eventually discovered there was a warrant regarding his DUI some six (6) years later. We then got the case dismissed in its entirety do to a violation of Mr. H.’s speedy trial rights.

NOT GUILTY / COMPLETE ACQUITTAL | FELONY 6 COUNTS BANK AND WIRE FRAUD – Mr. J was a partner in JWJ Construction and Contracting. This company handled projects that included paving the runways for the Sky Harbor Airport, amongst other large scale jobs. At the direction of his partner and their accountant, he was tricked into signing various loan documents which did not properly reflect JWJ’s assets and liabilities. Eventually, the loans defaulted which resulted in a $1,500,000.00 loss to the bank, and $18,000,000.00 loss to the bonding company. Mr. J was subsequently charged with one count of Bank Fraud, three counts of Wire Fraud, one count of Conspiracy, and one count of False Statements to a Federally Insured Institution. His case went to Jury Trial and David Cantor received a Not Guilty verdict on all six counts (a Complete Acquittal). Mr. J’s partner and accountant each cut a deal with the prosecution to testify against Mr. J. The accountant received a felony and was placed on probation, and Mr. J’s partner was sentenced to over one year in prison.

DUI DRUGS (marijuana) REDUCED to DUI alcohol with 1 DAY in JAIL – State v. Mr. O. (DMC No. 5507) (Snowflake Justice Court CR2005-0157MI): DPS Officers claimed they were at State Route 260 near Mile Post 306 near Snowflake, Arizona when they observed Mr. O. travelling 59 in a 45 mph zone. After he was stopped, they claimed they could smell a strong odor of marijuana and they processed Mr. O. for a DUI drugs charge. After conducting a Drug Recognition Evaluation (DRE), he was arrested and a marijuana pipe with marijuana was found in his vehicle. Mr. O. subsequently provided a urine test which showed the presence of the active metabolite of marijuana (THC). Because of the questionable search of his vehicle, we were able to convince the Prosecutor to not file charges for Possession of Drug Paraphernalia and Marijuana. We also convinced him to reduce the DUI “drugs” charge to a DUI “alcohol” charge, which saved Mr. O.’s license from being suspended for a full year.
REDUCED | SUPER EXTREME DUI (.262 BAC) State. Vs. Ms. A. (DMC No. 9855) (Phoenix City Court No. 14005842): Ms. A. was stopped on state route 51 and Greenway Road due to an anonymous 911 call. Ms. A. had Chrohn’s disease and respiratory problems. The 911 caller wished to remain anonymous and claimed that he was almost struck by Ms. A. Although Ms. A. eventually provided a .262 breath alcohol content, we were able to convince the state they would have problems proving actual reckless driving and that their breath test was suspect due to Ms. A.’s illness. They eventually offered a plea to a first offense DUI with one day in jail instead of a Super Extreme DUI with a minimum of 45 days in jail.

SUPER EXTREME DUI (.236 BAC) REDUCED to REGULAR DUI with 1 DAY JAIL – State v. Mr. S. (DMC No. 5741) (White Tank Justice Court TR04-54197CR): Mr. S. was stopped due to a 911 call reporting a reckless driver. When police contacted him inside a McDonald’s parking lot, he was urinating next to his car. He was subsequently arrested, and provided a blood test which produced a .236 BAC. While at the station he asked to call his lawyer, but he was told there was no phone or phonebook, and that if he had a number then they would provide him a phone. Due to the potential “denial of right to counsel” issue the Prosecutor offered a regular DUI with 1 day in jail. Mr. S. was originally facing 45 days in jail.
