My client came to me facing a serious DUI charge that carried devastating consequences: potential felony conviction, mandatory installation of an ignition interlock device, and the suspension of both his California and Texas driver’s licenses. He was worried—and rightfully so. His career, ability to travel, and everyday freedom were all on the line.
From the outset, I knew we had to take an aggressive but smart approach. I thoroughly reviewed the evidence, challenged weaknesses in the prosecution’s case, and negotiated strategically with the DA—keeping both states’ DMV consequences in mind every step of the way.
In the end, we got the DUI charge reduced to a misdemeanor. More importantly:
- No ignition interlock device was required
- No suspension of his California or Texas licenses
- No felony conviction on his record
This case is a prime example of how knowing both the law and the system can make all the difference. My client walked away with a second chance—and full driving privileges in two states—because he didn’t give up, and because we fought hard to protect his future.
