Our client held a commercial driver's license (CDL). He was a first offender with no criminal record. If he entered into the first offender ARD program, he would suffer a disqualification of his CDL – it would be lost for one year. A CDL driver with a DUI will have a very difficult time getting future employment. We hired a forensic breath testing expert. The expert reviewed our client's medical history, the circumstances surrounding the case, and the breath test records. Our expert concluded that the breath test result was unreliable due to the many errors that took place during the testing process.

The result: The prosecution dropped the DUI charges and let our client into the first offender program on a non-DUI charge.
