REFERRAL TO THE BACK ON TRACK PROGRAM AFTER BEING INITIALLY DENIED FOR DRIVING WITH A SUSPENDED LICENSE

RESULT: THE STATE DROPPED THE DUI

FACTS: The officer observed the defendant failing to maintain a single lane. The defendant would speed up to 80 mph, then break hard and reduce velocity to 45-50 mph. Fearing that the defendant was an impaired driver, the officer stopped the defendant at NW 87 Ave and the 836 Expressway. Upon making contact with the defendant, the officer observed that the defendant had a flushed face, bloodshot watery eyes, slurred speech, and a strong odor of an unknown alcoholic beverage coming from the defendant’s breath. Fearing the defendant was an impaired driver, the officer requested her to take DUI tests, but she did not perform to standards.  The Defendant was arrested and provided a breath sample that was two times the legal limit of .08.  After retaining the Firm, the client was in for quite the fight.  An elementary school teacher at the time, the client could not afford to have a conviction on her record, a certainty if convicted for DUI.  Making matters worse, she had previously been cited with the criminal traffic violation of Driving While License Suspended with Knowledge.  As a result, the State Attorney’s Office was seeking jail time and would not allow her to enroll in the DUI Diversion Program.  We were ultimately able to negotiate a resolution where she was allowed to receive a referral to the program and the state dropped the DUI.
