DUI Case Study
Jackie, a 22 year old graduate student, came home to be with her family during Thanksgiving break. On Wednesday night (the night before Thanksgiving), she drove to a local bar and had a number of drinks with her old high school friends. Since her house was only a few blocks away, Jackie decided to drive home.
Jackie was pulled over by a local police officer and received a DUI (driving under the influence). She was very upset because she had never done anything like this in the past. Nevertheless, she realized that she needed some help from an experienced DUI lawyer. After a lengthy search, Jackie decided to call Top Tier Legal Group. Not only was she connected to a lawyer immediately, but he (the lawyer) agreed to meet her on Thanksgiving morning to discuss her case.
Based on a variety of factors, Jackie’s lawyer was able to make a very favorable deal with the local prosecutor. Specifically, her lawyer was able to exchange Jackie’s DUI conviction for a reckless driving citation (this is much less of a penalty than a DUI conviction).
