OVI / DUI Dismissal

Client charged with OVI, a misdemeanor of the first degree, carrying a maximum sentence of 180 days incarceration, a $1,075.00 fine, a license suspension and reinstatement fees. Upon receipt of the discovery from the State's Prosecutor it appeared that the OVI charge was based upon the defendant's performance on the field sobriety test. Defense Attorney Zachuary Meranda was able to show the state that the test were not performed with substantial compliance and through his negotiations was able to get the case dismissed for the client. This was a huge win for the client and prevented him from the embarrassment of telling his employers he was charged with an OVI do to one night's indiscretion.
