We were able to push and help out client get a deal that allowed her to avoid a felony, avoid jail, and avoid probation supervision. Without our team pushing and fighting for our client, the consequences would have been significantly worse.
In this case, our client was charged with a Felony DWI. She was pulled over for having no registration and insurance at the time of the stop. When she was taken back to the station, she was given a breathalyzer which indicated a BAC of .12. Originally the DA’s office made an offer of six months in jail and five years probation on a felony plea. We were able to get letters of recommendation on our client’s behalf and we went with our client to meet with probation prior to them giving a recommendation to the court and DA’s office. When we met with probation we stressed all of the positives about our client, ultimately probation recommended that our client be allowed to plea to a misdemeanor with fines, a surcharge and the ignition interlock device. Rather than accepting the first offer, we were able to push and help out client get a deal that allowed her to avoid a felony, avoid jail, and avoid probation supervision. Without our team pushing and fighting for our client, the consequences would have been significantly worse.
