How driving cases end, one caveat at a time

• Dismissed

  DUI, first charge

  The video showed no lawful reason for the stop, and the evidence that followed it was thrown out before trial.

  2025

  Sample matter. A stop is judged on its own facts.

• License kept

  Suspension hearing

  The hearing was requested inside the deadline, and the suspension did not take effect.

  2025

  Sample matter. The deadline is short, and missing it ends this option.

• Reduced

  Reckless driving

  Lowered to a lesser traffic violation after the client finished a driving course.

  2024

  Sample matter. A reduction depends on the charge, the record and the court.

• Not guilty

  DUI, trial

  A jury heard the officer's account, the video and the breath test, and returned a not-guilty verdict.

  2024

  Sample matter. A jury's decision can't be predicted.

• Ticket dismissed

  Speeding, commercial license

  The citation was dismissed after a driving class, so it never reached the driver's record.

  2023

  Sample matter. Not every court or charge allows this.

• Lesser charge

  Second DUI, refusal

  The prosecutor accepted a lesser charge once the officer's paperwork was challenged.

  2023

  Sample matter. A prior record changes what is possible.

Sample matters, for illustration. Every case is different, and past results don't guarantee a similar outcome.
