STATE v. J.N.

Charge

OUI (.11%)

Result

Because the client’s clothing was saturated in gasoline, the Intoxilyzer 8000 kept registering errors. The arresting officer did not follow proper protocols to ensure that the gasoline fumes dissipated from the room and as a result, I was able to convince the DA to dismiss the OUI charge. My client pled guilty to Driving to Endanger for a fine of $575.00 and a 30 day loss of license. Because my client was from Texas and Texas doesn’t recognize Maine’s DTE statute, my client’s TX DL was never suspended by Texas. Client worked for the Texas State Penitentiary system and a conviction would have been catastrophic for his / her career.

STATE v. H.W.

Charge

OUI Refusal

Result

Client would lose his / her job if convicted of the OUI.  This case was a “loser” right out of the gate and there was zero chance of winning this case on the merits.  So instead, I successfully negotiated a DTE out of this case.  I provided the DA with a letter from my client’s employer who specifically stated that the client would be terminated if convicted of the OUI as his / her license was a necessary part of performing his / her job.  Client agreed to enroll in the Alternative Sentencing Program in lieu of jail and received a $1,000.00 fine and a 30 day loss of license, which had no effect on him / her because TX doesn’t have a DTE statute.  Client was elated!

STATE v. F.F.

Charge

1st offense OUI with a .16% BrAC test

Result

My client had a significant disability as one leg was shorter than the other.  Client was also a diabetic.  The officer never medically qualified my client for SFSTs or the breath test and as a result, the client was unable to properly perform the field sobriety tests to the satisfaction of the officer.  We brought these issues to the attention of the DA who agreed to dismiss the OUI in return for a plea of guilty to DTE, which included a fine of $575.00 and a license suspension of 30 days.  We had the Court order the BMV to run the 30 day DTE suspension concurrently with the previously imposed BMV suspension for the administrative OUI.

STATE v. E.Dp.

Charge

Passing a Stopped School Bus

Result

Client was at his / her son’s school waiting to pick the child up.  There were school buses stopped in the parking lot with their lights flashing.  A car behind him / her was honking its horn and startled my client who pulled forward, past the school buses.  A local police officer observed my client pass the school buses in the parking lot and summonsed him / her for the offense.  The State agreed to file the case for 6 months with a dismissal at the end and a filing fee of $100.00.

STATE v. E.C.

Charge

Criminal Threatening with a Deadly Weapon (class C felony); Reckless Conduct with a Deadly Weapon (class C felony)

Result

The local police botched the investigation.  The confrontation with the young kids took place at night and no one gave a description of the “semi-automatic pistol” until 5 months after my client was arrested.  There was no doubt that the state could prove a misdemeanor charge of criminal threatening but we strongly believed the case would fall apart at trial.  Ultimately, due to the serious nature of the charge, my client agreed to a plea deal involving 30 days in jail and one year of probation on a conviction for a misdemeanor criminal threatening.  This ensured that my client’s out-of-state parole wouldn’t be revoked in the unlikely event he/she was convicted of the felony following a trial.  The judge indicated that if we’d gone to trial and lost on the misdemeanor but prevailed on the felony charges that he would have sentenced my client to 6 – 12 months in jail due to his / her extensive prior criminal history and the serious nature of the charges involving a firearm.

STATE v. D.R.

Charge

OUI (.16%)

Result

Prior to the dispositional conference we’d been asking for discovery that was missing from the file.  We never received the missing discovery, which included the 911 tapes.  I successfully leveraged that failure to provide us with discovery into a dismissal of the OUI charge and a plea of guilty to Driving to Endanger for a 30 day loss of license and $575.00 fine.  Pennsylvania doesn’t have a DTE statute so the client’s PA DL was never suspended.

STATE v. C.C.

Charge

OUI

Result

Client was a member of the US armed forces.  A conviction would likely have cost the client his / her career as the client had nearly 18 years of meritorious service and was close to retirement.  My client was pushing me hard for a DTE but I wanted a full dismissal.  Ultimately, the DA relented and agreed to file the case for $300.00 and 6 months.  Assuming the client stayed out of trouble, the case would be dismissed after 6 months.  My client still maintained their innocence and never pled guilty, therefore, allowing him / her to maintain his / her dignity, keeping his / her service record and career intact.

STATE v. B.M.

Charge

OUI (.17%)

Result

Ultimately, the DA agreed to dismiss the OUI due to lack of evidence of driving under the influence.  I successfully argued that the lack of admissions to driving after drinking, coupled with numerous bottles of alcohol found at the scene, would make it impossible to prove at trial.  The DA agreed and my client walked out of court without a criminal record.

STATE v. A.G. – DUI / OUI

Charge

OUI, DUI, DWI, and Theft

Result

By agreement and following a spirited negotiation with the local DA, the case was fully dismissed.
