OUTCOME: No license suspension, charge amended
My client was charged with a 2nd OVI / DUI within a six year time period. I was not consulted on the first case. However, after being referred to me for the most recent charge of DUI, this client made ... the decision to hire me. I was able to have this 2nd DUI charge amended down to a “zero Point offense”, thus significantly decreasing the burden on our clients’ insurance bills. Additionally, the reinstatement fee of $475 normally associated with a DUI was thrown out as I was able to successfully argue that an “administrative license suspension appeal” should be granted on legal grounds. Moreover, normally even with a reduction of charges on a DUI, individuals are required to serve the 3 day DIP (Driver Intervention Program) Hotel weekend. I was able to successfully argue that this client did not need to attend said program. Additionally, no license suspension was given. A truly wonderful outcome for the client.
