Driver's License Reinstatement Results
At Harter & Schottland, our family law clients often feel vulnerable. They come to us to protect their rights and help them achieve their goals.
At Harter & Schottland, we have defended countless clients against DUI, drug, and license-related charges that put their freedom at risk. Below are just a few examples of the results we’ve achieved.
Arrested for DUI, Marijuana Possession, and Underage Alcohol Offenses – NOT GUILTY ON ALL CHARGES
Police discovered our 20-year-old client passed out in his running car, parked improperly with headlights and wipers on. A breath test showed a .170 BAC—more than twice the legal limit—and officers found marijuana, a pipe, and alcohol in the vehicle.
At trial, we excluded key evidence and undermined critical testimony. The jury returned a not guilty verdict on every charge, including DUI, marijuana possession, and underage alcohol offenses.
DUI with BAC .156 – CASE DISMISSED
Our client was arrested for DUI and Improper Lane Usage after a breath test revealed a .156 BAC. We filed a Motion to Suppress Evidence, arguing the stop violated our client’s Fourth Amendment rights against unreasonable searches and seizures.
The judge agreed, ruling the stop unlawful. All charges were dismissed, and the client’s driver’s license suspension was rescinded.
Charged with DUI (Drugs) and Marijuana Possession – NOT GUILTY
R.T. was stopped for expired plates. The officer smelled marijuana, saw smoke, and recovered marijuana from the car. R.T. admitted to smoking immediately before the stop, and the officer claimed he failed sobriety tests.
We obtained the arrest video, which proved the officer administered the sobriety tests incorrectly. The court agreed R.T. had passed the tests, and he was acquitted of both DUI and marijuana possession charges.
Driving While License Revoked for DUI – EVIDENCE SUPPRESSED, CASE DISMISSED
While searching for his missing dog, our client stopped to ask neighborhood children for help. A neighbor called police, who pulled him over and discovered his license was revoked for a prior DUI—an offense that can be charged as a felony.
We filed a Motion to Suppress Evidence, proving the stop was unconstitutional. The court excluded all evidence, including his identity and revoked status. With no case left, the prosecutor dismissed the charges.
