People v. A.F. - 5th Lifetime and 3rd Felony DUI!
Jan 16, 2025OUTCOME: No Custody Time and No Fines!!!
Client retained Mr. Kent to assist him in a complex 3rd felony DUI with an accident. Client had previously served a 6 year term in prison for his prior DUI. This DUI involved a 0.305% (Nearly 4 times t ... he legal limit) blood alcohol level along with impairing drugs in client's system. Mr. Kent proactively advised the client to enroll voluntarily in the SCRAM (SubCutaneous Random Alcohol Monitor) Program to be able to prove that the client was no longer drinking. Similarly, Mr. Kent had client get in contact with his psychiatrist to work out a treatment program and to balance out the client's medications. Mr. Kent had also wanted client to start seeing a therapist weekly in additional to his 4 AA's per week. The client was initially very reluctant to go to therapy, but eventually followed Mr. Kent's advice and has stated this counselor has absolutely changed his life! After the case was filed, Mr. Kent was able to get the court to order client in to SCRAMx, which is a combination of the aforementioned SCRAM Program, along with Electronic Monitoring. This not only allowed the client to continue to work to support client's family, but also allowed client to earn day-for-day jail credits while in the SCRAMx Program. The case was ultimately resolved for a state prison sentence, but client never had to serve a day in custody, as the credits from the SCRAMx Program credited his entire sentence! The client is still employed, supporting his family, and on a healthy road to longterm recovery!
