 Today, I want to talk about the art of the law and how that art Got my guy from a DUI to a withhold on a reckless driving. That's up next Hypothetically speaking of course, I have a client who pulled in the parking lot of a gas station after leaving a adult establishment nudie bar When he pulls in the parking lot, he squeals his tires There's a cop in the parking lot the cop comes out and doesn't stop him right away But it starts a conversation of like why you driving like a jerk Cop lets my guy go into the gas station some conversation continues as they're walking towards the gas station But it's not a formal detention so then the cop leaves him alone, but steps outside to call for backup and they eventually Tell them to get out of the gas station and they arrest him for resisted without violence and also DUI so during the arrest process a lot of Mfers thrown around and Just doesn't sound good for my client audio recording not a video recording. He sounds really drunk They got him dead to rights. It seems to be but I find an angle there to attack I'm not gonna know the details that angle right now because it's a Legal caveat that isn't really gonna be used very much. Nonetheless, I had I had a fight to fight So I filed my motion to suppress and the goal of this motion It wouldn't get the whole case thrown out, but I was trying to suppress a decent chunk of their evidence So they'd have a difficult time in trial But even if I get this evidence suppress or even if I were to win the motion to get the evidence suppress Then I would think that the jury would still find my client guilty based on the evidence that was still available to them Now with that being said Today we go to the motion. It's set for this morning hypothetically We get there and there's a problem The there's a problem that the officers didn't get properly subpoenaed The prosecutor says well listen we can either work this thing out right now Or we can continue this. I'm sure the judge will grant me a continuance That gave me the negotiation room to get it worked out a very favorable offer for my guy went from a DUI charge to a wet reckless With a withhold of adjudication Now the withhold of adjudication is critical here Because if you're adjudicated guilty and it's mandatory adjudication on a DUI You cannot get a withhold of adjudication on DUI But if you're adjudicated guilty of any offense, you cannot have your record sealed or expunged and You can't have any record at once you're doing a guilty of one offense You can no longer have your record sealed or expunged. This is my guy's first offense with that offer He is now going to be Legally he's gonna be able to legally deny that he was arrested for DUI or ever charged with reckless driving Once this record does get actually sealed and that's huge for employment purposes the fact that you can deny this so Got the DUI charge with the reckless driving It's gonna have about a thousand dollars in fines pay a little bit over that with all the court costs all the crap like that no driver's license suspension has taken DUI school and That's about it. He's got to do 12 months probation. We can terminate probation after six months I think that's 45 and this figure counts $45 a month for probation So he's gonna have a little bit of money to pay but the end of the day the result of getting the record sealed is huge So that's it guys have a good one and God bless
