DUI/Failure to Maintain Lane

Client was driving north on I-85. Georgia State Patrol estimated he was speeding and began following him. Trooper. The trooper arrested the client for being under the influence of drugs and told him to submit to a blood test. Client was adamant that he was not under the influence and refused to take the test.

While the client was still in jail, the client’s family contacted Houston where they discussed the strategy. Houston instructed the client’s family to have the client take an independent drug test the morning he got bonded out of jail. This quick thinking of an independent test was our strongest evidence in defeating a DUI charge. The independent test in coordination with evidentiary issues that Houston found helped negotiate a dismissal to the DUI and a plea to Reckless Driving with no jail time and minimal probation conditions.
