STATE v. J.St.

Charge

Felony OUI (3rd offense)

Result

 We presented the DA with an excellent legal argument that the seizure of my client’s person was unsupported by any reasonable suspicion of criminal activity and was a violation of my client’s constitutional rights.  The day before the case was set to be heard by a superior court justice, the DA and I fashioned an agreement that resulted in the felony OUI charge being dismissed and my client pled guilty to a single count of Operating Beyond License Restriction for a fine of $500.00.  My client avoided the felony conviction as well as a 6-year loss of license.  My client was very pleased.

STATE v. S.S.

Charge

OUI (.16% BrAC)

Result

We conducted a hearing on a motion to suppress illegally obtained evidence.  We argued that no evidence collected at the time of the stop would support a reasonable suspicion that my client was under the influence of alcohol.  The judge agreed and granted the motion to suppress evidence.  As a result, the state was forced to dismiss the charge!  Client was estatic as we previously prevailed at the BMV and therefore, the client avoided any blemish on his criminal and motor vehicle history.

BMV v. P.F.

Charge

OUI (.24% BrAC)

Result

We requested that the PD preserve a copy of the Intoxilyzer room video for review.  We later discovered that the officer violated the 15 minute wait period when he left the room for approximately 17 seconds, leaving my client unattended.  When confronted with this issue, the officer denied ever leaving the room.  Thankfully, we had the videotape, which we played for the hearings officer and the cop.  The police officer had clearly forgotten that he left the room and admitted that as a result, the test was unreliable.  BMV suspension DISMISSED!!!

STATE v. A.O.

Charge

OUI (.20%)

Result

We offered to resolve the case with a Driving to Endanger conviction in return for a dismissal of the OUI charge.  The DA refused and felt fairly confident that he would win on a hearing to suppress evidence obtained from the stop.  Fortunately for my client, we conducted a hearing on the issue of the legality of the stop and the judge agreed with my argument that it was an illegal stop and there was no evidence of criminal activity that would justify the stop.  CASE DISMISSED!

STATE v. J.L.

Charge

Criminal Speed (107mph)

Result

DA agreed to dismiss the case after 12 months pending completion of a defensive driver’s course.  In Maine, judges are routinely ordering a minimum of 72 hours jail in cases where people break the 100mph speed barrier.  In this case, the DA was sympathetic to my client who had recently suffered from a severe head injury and was unaware of his/her speed.  Client had also been driving for nearly 20 straight hours and was extremely fatigued.  While not an excuse for the driving behavior, it was enough to establish a starting point for conversation that ultimately would lead to a dismissal.

STATE v. D.C.

Charge

OUI Refusal

Result

 DA agreed to dismiss the OUI Refusal charge due in large part on a failure by the PD to preserve important video evidence that had been previously requested by my Office.  Client pled guilty to Driving to Endanger for a fine of $1,000.00 and a 30 day loss of license.  Client was able to continue to drive back in his/her home state as he/she was never convicted of the OUI.

STATE v. J.S.

Charge

Operating a Motor Vehicle after License has been Revoked (OAR)

Result

My client is a local Maine college student who exercised bad judgment.  However, I was able to convince the DA to give my client one last chance based on my client’s willingness to stay on the scene of the accident (IE, he/she didn’t flee) and his/her honesty with the police officer.  DA agreed to a deferred disposition for 1 year with a condition that the client not drive unless lawfully licensed.  At the end of 1 year, the case would be dismissed and the client would plead guilty to Operating after Suspension (OAS) for a $200.00 fine and 48 hours in the Alternative Sentencing Program.  Client was thrilled as his/her prior attorney was perfectly willing to plead the client to the original charge, essentially “throwing the client under the bus”!

STATE v. S.S.

Charge

OUI (3rd offense in 15 years)

Result

We had a couple of things going for us.  First, we won the BMV hearing based on the officer’s failure to properly inspect the client’s mouth where had he done his job, would have discovered the client had dentures.  Secondly, there were some social and mental health issues that the client was suffering from and we were able to bring these issues to the DA’s attention.  The result was that the OUI was dismissed in return for a plea to Reckless Conduct, a fine of $2,000.00 and no license suspension.  The client was happy because any license suspension would have meant termination from employment.

STATE v. C.M. – Driving to Endanger

Charge

Leaving the Scene of an Accident (x2); Reckless Conduct; Driving to Endanger

Result

This case boiled down to one simple but difficulty to obtain goal and that was to minimize the damage and avoid any criminal convictions for Reckless Conduct and Driving to Endanger.  During a lengthy negotiation with the DA, we shared photos of the client’s vehicle and the “victim’s” vehicle to demonstrate that the damage alleged couldn’t have been caused by my client’s car.  Ultimately, I was able to convince the DA to dismiss all of the charges in return for a plea of no contest to a single count of leaving the scene of an accident.  This ensured my client wouldn’t be liable for any damages to the vehicles based on a guilty plea (which we avoided).  Client was fined $250.00.
