CLIENT ARRESTED FOR DWI
Please note-this is an example of the disposition of a recent New Hampshire DWI case. It is by no means a guaranty of any particular result in any other case.

BASIC FACTS: The defendant was stopped for driving with his high beams on.  The officer approached his window and claimed the defendant was slurring his speech, had a very obvious odor of alcohol, and had red bloodshot glassy eyes.  The officer said the defendant almost fell over when he got out of the car, had to lean on the car for balance and almost fell over walking to the rear of the car.  The officer later described the defendant as the most intoxicated person he had ever arrested.  The officer testified that the defendant drooled all over himself during booking and could not stand up.  He described the odor of alcohol that filled his cruiser when the defendant got in as “sickening”.  He arrested the defendant for DWI.

The defendant elected to fight the charges and go to trial on his DWI charge.

DEFENSE:     Prior to trial Attorney Stevens successfully moved to suppress the field sobriety tests because the defendant had been coerced into doing them.  Once the roadside gymnastics were suppressed, the state’s evidence was not legally sufficient to support a conviction.  The defendant was found NOT GUILTY” of DWI after trial.

RESULT:       NOT GUILTY!!!

Attorney Stevens thanks God for this successful defense!!!
