Case Result: 2d and 3rd DUI’s resolved for a dry reckless and a standard 2d

A client of mine with a prior DUI was arrested twice within a month this year, both times for DUI.  So, he was facing a second and a third, which carries a mandatory 120 day jail sentence.  I filed a motion to suppress while our trial date was pending, and was able to get one of the DUI’s reduced to a dry reckless, which doesn’t count as a prior conviction.  The client then pled no contest to a dry reckless driving charge, and a standard second DUI, which carries only a 10 day jail sentence, rather than the 120 he was looking at to start.  This allowed him to maintain employment to continue taking care of his family.
