Result

Charges Dropped

Our client was pulled over for a myriad of reasons, none of which amount to a traffic infraction. The Officer wrote in his report that “the driver changed lanes in a very slow manner, as if he were drifting. The vehicle began to weave again touching the left and right lane marker with it’s tires." We filed a motion to suppress, rejected a plea offer, and argued an arsenal of bad DUI stop case law at the evidentiary hearing.  Our Motion to Suppress was granted and the DUI charges were dropped.
