August 16, 2017
1st OFFENSE OUI- Liquor or .08%
Client, a young college graduate, was driving and struck a parked car. He was eventually apprehended and charged with a first offense OUI. The defense made several challenges to admission of the Commonwealth's evidence via a motion to suppress. Although the court denied the motion, the court authored a well-written and detailed 9-page decision for their rationale and basis. The client agreed to a plea that would place him on probation for one year, with the agreement that the charge would be dismissed from his record at the end of that calendar year.
Result: First Offense OUI DISMISSED AFTER ONE YEAR PROBATION AND PROGRAM.

In the end, prior to starting the trial, the accuser failed to appear—resulting in a dismissal of the charge.
Result: CHARGE DISMISSED ON THE DAY OF TRIAL.
