DUI Defense

A client was visiting friends and watching a ball game during the weekend. They were doing what many sports fans do while watching a game: eating snacks and having a few beers. During the game, he had a couple beers. On the way home, he was pulled over for speeding. Then he was asked to step out of the car. The officer had the client perform some field sobriety tests and blow into a handheld breathalyzer. The breathalyzer registered over .10. The client was baffled by the result because he knew had only two beers over several hours. After his arrest, he took another breathalyzer at the station. The result was .076. The client retained Olaf Hansen to represent him against the charge of DUI. Olaf noted that the police report indicated that the client was only speeding and that the car's tire touched the lane divider just twice in two miles. Additionally, the report confirmed that the client passed the field sobriety tests. Based upon these issues, Olaf was able to obtain a reduction of the charge from DUI to a traffic infraction.
