State of Georgia v. M.W.

Cobb County State Court

An officer, also a member of the Cobb County DUI Task Force, stopped our client on 1-75 for going 84 mph in a 55 mph zone.  The officer smelled alcohol while at our client’s vehicle and asked whether our client had been drinking.  After admitting to having a few beers earlier, the officer asked our client to exit his vehicle.  Our client submitted to the alcosensor test, and the test showed that our client did have alcohol on his breath.  Our client then submitted to field sobriety tests, performing well on the one-leg stand test and the nine-step walk-and-turn test.  The officer asked again how much our client had drank, and our client said that he had had six beers.  At that time the officer gave our client a breath test, which read .093 BAC.  Our Cobb County DUI lawyers were able to have our client’s DUI charge dismissed in exchange for a reckless driving guilty plea.  Our client avoided driver’s license suspension, jail time, and having a DUI on his record.

 

 

State of Georgia v. A.D.

Gwinnett County State Court

A member of the Gwinnett County DUI Task Force pulled over our client for allegedly speeding on I-85. The officer smelled alcohol on our client’s breath when he approached the vehicle, and at that time, our client admitted that he had been drinking that evening. The officer performed field sobriety tests and arrested our client. The officer then asked our client to submit a state administered breath test, but our client wanted to speak with a lawyer before agreeing to take the test. The officer treated our client’s request as a refusal of the state administered breath test, and our client was charged with a DUI, speeding, open container and lack of insurance. Our Gwinnett County DUI lawyer, Ben Sessions, entered a not guilty verdict to the court and placed the burden of proof on the state to provide all evidence arising from the stop and arrest of our client. The state was unable to meet the defense’s request, and therefore our client’s DUI, speeding, open container, and no insurance charges were dismissed.

 

State of Georgia v. M.O.

Gwinnett County State Court

Our clients was involved in an accident in a restaurant parking lot and charged with a DUI once the Gwinnett County Police Department arrived. Our client was arrested and submitted to all of the officer’s requests. Our client took the state-administered breath test and results showed that our client’s blood alcohol content was .09. The state charged our client with two types of Georgia DUI charges. Our Gwinnett County DUI lawyer Ben Sessions argued for the exclusion of the state administered breath tests and examined transcripts relating to the arrest. The transcripts ultimately provided critical information in favor of our client’s case, and Ben Sessions submitted a not guilty verdict at the DUI trial. The testimony of the arresting officer and the restaurant manager was provided by the state, and those witnesses were insufficient in providing enough evidence to establish that our client was guilty. Our client’s not guilty verdict stood and all charges were dropped.

 

State of Georgia v. J.E.

Oconee County Superior Court

The Georgia State Patrol implemented an intensive DUI roadblock enforcement effort, “Rolling Thunder”. Our client hit a roadblock in 2008 after an evening UGA football game and was charged with a DUI. At the roadblock, our client complied with all roadside sobriety tests, and the officer observed that our client was driving under the influence. The officer then arrested our client, read the implied consent warning, and requested a state-administrated breath test, which our client submitted to and resulted in a BAC of .109. Our Georgia DUI lawyers investigated the roadblock and discovered that our client was stopped before the authorized start time of the roadblock. Based on this investigation, our Georgia DUI lawyers negotiated the dismissal of the DUI. Our client’s DUI charge was dismissed, and he was only charged for reckless driving. Therefore our client received no jail time, no driver’s license suspension and no DUI on his record.

After the test resulted in a BAC of .121, our client was charged with a DUI, reckless driving and driving without headlights. Our Atlanta DUI lawyer announced that they were ready for trial, and the state was not able to go forward with the case. All charges, including the DUI charge, were dropped.

The officer smelled alcohol on our client’s breath when he approached the car and asked for our client to take field sobriety tests. The arresting officer claimed our client failed all three issued. Our client then submitted to the state administered breath test, which showed low alcohol levels of .053 and .054. Our client was charged with a DUI, failure to obey a traffic control device, and failure to yield while turning left. Our Gwinnett County DUI lawyers announced that we were ready for trial, and at that time, the state agreed to dismiss the DUI and failure to yield charges. Our client was only charged with failure to disobey a traffic control device, which he pled guilty. Our client was pursuing his Georgia commercial driver’s license (CDL) and was allowed to move forward with attaining his CDL.

State of Georgia v. C.H.

Cherokee County State Court

Our client was driving to work at 6:15am when he was stopped for failing to stop at a stop sign. When the officer approached the vehicle, he smelled alcohol and observed that our client’s eyes were bloodshot and water. The officer asked our client to submit to field sobriety tests, and after showing various clues, our client was arrested for a DUI. Our client submitted to the state-administered breath test that showed a blood alcohol content of 0.174. At that time, our client asked for an independent test and was taken to the hospital for blood work. Despite repeated declarations that our client wanted a blood test, a blood test was never preformed. Our Georgia DUI lawyers asked for the state to exclude the state-administered breath test. Once in trial, the state offered to dismiss our client’s DUI charge, and in return, our client accepted a reckless driving charge. Even with an extremely high breath test, our client obtained a no contest to reckless driving, did no loose his license, and did not go to jail.
