Client was arrested for DUI after blowing zero on both breath tests but testing positive for marijuana. We retained an expert witness, filed multiple pretrial motions, and fully prepared the case for trial. On the eve of trial, the State offered an alcohol-related reckless driving, which we rejected since there was no evidence of alcohol use. Following continued negotiation, the State agreed to a simple reckless driving with no points, no conviction, and only 50 hours of community service plus a driving class. For Client, whose commercial driver’s license is his livelihood, this outcome preserved his career while avoiding the risks of trial.
