When my client came to me, he was already in a difficult position—facing his third DUI, this time involving both marijuana and alcohol, with the added complication of a missed court appearance that resulted in a bench warrant for his arrest.
But we didn’t back down.
I immediately moved to recall the bench warrant, and successfully cleared that first major hurdle. From there, I shifted focus to the science: I obtained and thoroughly reviewed all prosecution discovery, including the blood test analysis conducted by law enforcement.
What I found in the toxicology and procedural details raised serious concerns—enough that I brought those findings directly to the attention of the District Attorney’s Office.
The result?
The DUI charge was dismissed.
No jail time.
No probation.
No new DUI prior on his record.
My client went from preparing for the worst—more probation, possible incarceration, and a third strike on his driving record—to walking away with a clean slate and his freedom intact.
This case proves once again that a strong defense doesn’t just fight charges—it scrutinizes the evidence, challenges assumptions, and delivers results.
