Waleed E.

The Defendant was traveling 103 mph in a 65 mph zone.  The defendant performed poorly on the field sobriety tests and blew a .158 on the intoxilyzer.  Originally the prosecution was taking a very hard stance against the defendant because of the reckless driving-speed and the high breath test.  Ultimately after 9 months of settings and motions the State offered to drop the DWI charge to Obstruction of Highway and furthermore granted deferred adjudication.  The defendant is eligible for record sealing.

Ruben K.

Defendant was stopped for a minor traffic violation.  When the officer approached the car, he noticed an open can of beer in console.  The officer had the defendant perform 3 field sobriety tests which the defendant allegedly failed.  The defendant was charged with DWI-open container.  Defense counsel saw the case as winnable and convinced Ruben to turn down probation and push the prosecution.   Because of some prior criminal history and the open container of alcohol the prosecutor originally wanted 18 months regular probation and almost $1000.00 in fines and costs.  Ultimately, by turning down the prosecutor’s probation offer and setting the case for trial we were able to get the case dismissed after completing a 12 month pretrial diversion program.  The defendant can get the case expunged.

Pablo P.

A Texas trooper stopped our client for making a wide right turn.  According to the trooper our client appeared disorientated and failed the field sobriety tests.  The breath test was refused.  After numerous consultations with the prosecutor and providing him with photographic evidence of the scene, thereby creating doubt in the officer’s version of events, the case was rejected.  All charges were dismissed.

 

Corey J.

Our client was stopped by a deputy for going 17 miles an hour over the speed limit.  The officer put in his report that the client had glassy eyes, slurred speech, and a strong order of alcohol coming from his breath.  When asked on a scale of 1 to 10 how drunk was he, my client stated, “a 3 or 4”.   Clients breath test came back as .127.  First, we won his driver’s license hearing so that he kept his driving privileges.  We then filed a motion to suppress and set it for a hearing challenging the officers probable cause and arrest.  The Court ruled in our favor resulting in all the charges being dismissed.

 

Mark S.

Our client was apprehended after being observed traveling 30 miles an hour down a federal interstate and then he stopped for no reason and wouldn’t move at a flashing yellow light.  The officer observed blood shot eyes, thick tongued tied slurred speech and admitted to consuming alcohol.  While standing there was a noticeable sway.  Our client then refused to blow into a portable breath testing machine and later refused to take the breathalyzer.  Because of the long delay in charging the defendant after his initial arrest we filed a motion to dismiss because of the denial of our clients right to a speedy trial.  Ultimately the case was dismissed.

Juan G.

The defendant was stopped for driving at night without his headlights on.  The defendant consented to the breath test and blew a .125.  At a motion to suppress hearing the officer testified about what he said to the defendant about taking the breath test.  It was clear that the officer was attempting to convince the defendant to take the test.  It is against the law for an officer to use persuasion to get the defendant to consent to the breath test.  After the hearing the judge threw out the breath test and the state then dismissed the case.

Chad K.

The Defendant was stopped for speeding.  The officer detected a strong smell of alcohol coming from the defendant’s breath.  After observing the defendant and listening to his speech the officer determined that the defendant was intoxicated.  During cross examination of the officer at the DPS driver’s license hearing we established that there was insufficient evidence of DWI and the prosecutor dismissed the case.

 

George H.

The Defendant was stopped for speeding and the officer suspected that he was DWI after coming into contact.   The officer testified at a hearing that the defendant from a stop sign had accelerated to over 60 mph and then came to a stop a specific location.  The officer also testified that the speed was calculated by pacing the defendant.  We hired an investigator to go out and measure the distance traveled by the defendant while being paced.  The court did not believe the officer because it was almost impossible to pace the defendant for the required time to establish speed had the client been going as fast as alleged.  The case was thrown out and expunged.

Vince S.

The defendant was stopped for running a red light and taking a corner too fast.  The officer detected the smell of alcohol and the defendant failed the field sobriety tests; however, the officer primarily relied upon the HGN test (follow the pen with your eyes test).  We had the defendant’s medical records and history reviewed by our medical expert.  Our expert diagnosed the defendant with thyroid toxicosis with exophthalmous which caused his eyes to bulge slightly.  This condition invalidated the HGN test which resulted in the prosecutor dismissing the DWI.
