Las Vegas DUI Attorney Talks Quirky Cases and Wins

(Newswire.net — August 14, 2015) Las Vegas, NV —

I had a client in a DUI case walk up to a police officer and attempt to help a friend that he had stopped. She offered to bail him out and approached with a wad of money. (Only in Las Vegas)

Unfortunately, the “friend” never met her before and didn’t know her. The officer told her to wait because he suspected her of driving under the influence (DUI). She protested long and loud that she wasn’t drunk. The cop did not believe her and told her to walk the line. She did, ON HER HANDS! (She was a gymnast- go figure). The cop was not amused, manhandled her, and threw her into the front seat of the patrol car (big mistake). She then kicked out the window of the cop car.

The DA wasn’t happy and wanted her to plead to a DUI with the maximum fines. But I told him he couldn’t make his case. Why?

1. The officer never saw her driving

2. They never did a chemical test (They were so mad at her when they brought her to the jail, they roughly threw her into a cell without ever giving her a breath test or a blood test.)

3. The woman obviously wasn’t that impaired since she walked the line on her hands.

What was the outcome you ask?

She ended up pleading to malicious injury to property, a misdemeanor, and she paid for the cop’s broken window, but guess what?

NO DUI!

If you’ve been arrested for driving under the influence (DUI), make sure you don’t give up your rights. A DUI lawyer who knows how to defend your rights is necessary. If you have been charged with a DUI, you could be facing some extremely severe penalties including loss of your license, fines, and jail time. These DUI cases can become quite complex, and it is important to have an experienced Las Vegas DUI attorney on your side to help protect your interests and guide you through the process.
