Atlanta Cases & Results:
The Anatomy of a Win
Many clients come to us feeling hopeless because their Breathalyzer result was high, or they admitted to drinking. However, the result on paper is not the end of the story. Below, we break down three recent Atlanta cases to show exactly how we turn difficult situations into victories.
Case 1: The “Impossible” High BAC
BAC .18
The Challenge
The client was pulled over for weaving. They blew a .18 on the Intoxilyzer 9000—more than double the legal limit. The prosecutor was pushing for a conviction based solely on the machine’s evidence.
The Strategy
We didn’t argue the machine’s number; we argued the stop. By analyzing the dashcam footage frame-by-frame, we proved the client stayed within their lane and never crossed the line. The “weaving” was within the lane, which is not a crime.
The Result
Motion to Suppress Granted. Case Dismissed.
Because the stop was illegal, the breath test evidence was thrown out.
The Challenge
Client admitted to taking prescribed anxiety medication. The officer arrested them for DUI Drugs after they “failed” the One-Leg Stand test.
The Strategy
We utilized our expert knowledge of Field Sobriety Testing. We demonstrated that the client’s “failure” was actually due to nervousness and a pre-existing knee injury, not impairment. Furthermore, the mere presence of a prescription does not prove inability to drive.
The Result
Reduced to Reckless Driving.
No DUI on record. License saved.
The Challenge
Client had a prior DUI conviction 4 years ago. Prosecutors were seeking the mandatory minimum jail time and a hard license suspension.
The Strategy
We engaged in proactive mitigation. Before court, we had the client complete treatment and community service. Using our relationship with the prosecutor, we presented a “rehabilitation package” that made jail time unnecessary for the safety of the community
The Result
No Jail Time. DUI Court Program Avoided.
Client kept their job and served probation only.
Every Case Has a Defense
These results aren’t magic—they are the result of knowing the law better than the other side. Let us look for the win in your case.
