Seattle 2nd DUI in 2 Years Reduced to Reckless with NO Jail
Jan 01, 2018OUTCOME: Reckless Driving without Jail, No Jail on Probation Violation
My client was unfortunately arrested for a second DUI within two years. Facing the prospect of a mandatory minimum 45 day jail sentence (and an overzealous prosecutor out for blood) due to a recent pre ... vious conviction for DUI, we aggressively investigated the case. We discovered that the police had violated my client's constitutional rights on several occasions during the traffic stop. At first, the prosecutor refused to budge and insisted on my client spending 90 days in jail, where my client would have certainly lost their job and their house. This was simply unacceptable. We decided to push back, hard. We made it clear to the prosecutor and the court that we would not stand for the Seattle Police violating my client's rights. By using aggressive negotiation and refusing to back down, we were able to resolve the case with a reduction to reckless driving with no jail time. When my client entered a plea of guilty to the Reckless, my client was also facing serious consequences in another local court because they were on probation for their first DUI. Again, using aggressive negotiation and the threat of a protracted battle over the constitutional violations, we were able to convince the State and the Court to keep them out of jail for any probation violations. My client was able to keep their job and their home.
