2008-CT-380-O
After crashing his car into a house, our client was arrested for DUI. The media got called out to cover the story and fortunately videotaped the DUI investigation. We subpoenaed the news videos which showed close-ups of the client as he did the field sobriety exercises. The videos showed that the police officer inaccurately reported that our client failed the sobriety exercises when he actually performed them perfectly. Result: The State reduced the charge to a non alcohol related reckless driving.
2008-CT-7492-O
Our client was charged with a DUI. We did a motion to suppress, arguing that the police did not have reasonable suspicion to believe that our client was under the influence and therefore should not have asked our client to do field sobriety exercises. The Court agreed that the police had no reasonable suspicion that our client was impaired and excluded all the evidence from the DUI investigation. Result: The State dropped the charge.
2009-CT-7492-O
Our client submitted to a urine test on his second DUI. The urine test showed that he had consumed xanax prior to driving. We hired a toxicologist as an expert witness who was to testify that the xanax was likely taken 12-48 hours prior to the client driving and therefore he was not under the influence of his prescription drug at the time he was arrested. The state had no expert witness to contradict our toxicologist. Result: The state dropped the charge.
2008-CT-12774-O
Our client was arrested for DUI. His breath results were .222 and .225. We were able to get the breath results excluded from evidence. Our client’s case went to trial. Results: Not Guilty.

Our client was charged with attempted first degree murder. The victim had told the police that he saw the client shoot him.

Result: The State dropped the charge.
2008-CF-15362-O

Result: Not Guilty.
