OUTCOME: OWI/PAC amended to improper parking on roadway
Our client was charged with an OWI and PAC first offense with a test result of 0.22. We filed and argued Motions to Suppress in our client's case. Ultimately, the charges were amended to an improper ... parking on a roadway charge with a $500.00 fine.
OUTCOME: reckless driving
Our client, who is an Illinois driver (OWIs can have extraordinary consequences on an Illinois license), was arrested up north in Langlade County for Operating While Intoxicated and Operating With a Pr ... ohibited Alcohol Concentration. Police were dispatched to a one vehicle car crash and upon arriving at the scene noticed that our client smelled of intoxicants. Client indicated to the police that she was driving and swerved to miss a deer which made her lose control of the vehicle and put it in a ditch. Client told the police that she had 5 drinks and she hadn't had anything to drink since the crash. According to the police reports, the client failed the field sobriety tests she was given, and she was placed under arrest for OWI. At the police station the client agreed to submit to an evidentiary chemical test of her breath and blew a 0.10. The lawyers at Chirafisi & Verhoff put their defense right out front--that the prosecution would not be able to establish time of operation, which could have an effect on whether the test result would become admissible. The prosecution initially refused to move on the charge and the matter was set for trial. However, shortly before the matter was set to proceed to trial, the prosecutor agreed to amend the charge to Reckless Driving. For all clients, this type of an amendment is a big deal, but in this situation because the client was an Illinois driver, the stakes were even higher. The client was thrilled, no OWI conviction and no revocation of her driving privileges.
OUTCOME: OWI 3rd and BAC 3rd both dismissed
Our client was charged with OWI 3rd, BAC 3rd, failure to keep vehicle under control and non-registration of auto. After filing and arguing multiple motions to suppress evidence, the OWI 3rd and BAC 3rd ... were both dismissed outright and our client paid a fine for failure to keep vehicle under control. We won our client's administrative review and saved our client money in fines, saved their license, and prevented them from having to install Interlock Ignition Devices in all of their titled vehicles.
