DUI (.082 BAC) REDUCED to WEAVING/SPEED TICKET – State v. Mr. H. (DMC No. 5315) (Scottsdale City Court TR2005-00606): Mr. H. was pulled over near Thomas Road and 68th Street in Scottsdale for allegedly weaving. He was subsequently arrested for DUI and provided a .082 BAC. Because he was pulled over during an East Valley DUI “task force”, we argued that this was a “pre-text” stop, and that the officer was merely trolling for DUI’s. The Prosecutor initially offered a reckless driving, but we were able to convince them to lower it to a simple “speeding” and “weaving” ticket.

(200229564CR): Ms. E. was stopped for an alleged speeding violation by the City of Scottsdale Police Department. Alcohol was smelled on her breath, and a Preliminary Breath Test was administered. Because the device is not certified, we were able to suppress her breath alcohol content from being admitted into evidence. We then secured a plea to a speeding ticket with no license suspension and a minor fine.

REDUCED | DUI (.109 BAC) (200209947CR): Mr. W. was stopped by Scottsdale Police who claimed he was speeding. During the DUI investigation, he provided a blood sample which produced a .109 BAC. On the day of trial, we convinced the prosecutor that the jury pool looked favorable to our client. At the time, the State buckled and offered 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 (.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 (.089 BAC) (Scottsdale City Court- No.: 200303034-CR): Mr. D. was stopped because police received a call of a vehicle traveling recklessly on the roadway at 3:00 a.m. He was subsequently stopped, and it was discovered that he was under 21 years of age and had been drinking. He subsequently provided a .089 preliminary breath test, yet the actual admissible breath test was below the legal limit. Due to numerous discrepancies in the report, we were able to negotiate a plea to Reckless Driving.

REDUCED | DUI (.079 BAC) (0301104CR): Mr. L. was stopped by police in the City of Scottsdale. He performed extremely well on Field Sobriety Tests, and he provided a blood sample with revealed a .079 BAC. Due to “No reasonable likelihood of conviction,” Mr. L. secured a Reckless Driving plea with zero days in jail.
