State v. J.L.

July, 2015
Charges: Second Degree DWI

Dismissed. Mr. Adkins obtained the dismissal after successfully raising the post-incident consumption defense. The client admitted to drinking prior to driving to a local restaurant, thereby giving the prosecution traction to pursue the DWI. Mr. Adkins’ thorough investigation into the night in question led to the discovery of multiple eyewitnesses that corroborated the client’s story that he consumed a number of drinks at the restaurant, which is what ultimately led to him being well-above the legal limit. An expert report concluding that the client could not have had an alcohol concentration higher than .06 at the time of driving was the final push the prosecutor needed in order to dismiss the case short of a contested hearing. Needless to say, the client is overjoyed with Mr. Adkins’ work.

State v. S.R.

July, 2015
Charges: Expungement of 2012 Disorderly Conduct, Underage Consumption, and Obstruction of Legal Process matter

Mr. Gempeler successfully obtained an expungement of a 2012 matter in which the client was convicted of misdemeanor disorderly conduct and underage consumption. A charge of obstruction of legal process was dismissed at that time, making this matter one involving disobedience to the police – i.e. one that courts are reluctant to expunge typically. The success hinged on Mr. Gempeler’s ability to work with his client to build and improve the case by getting several letters of recommendation, transcripts, treatment records, and a diligent review of the 12-factors in the petition paperwork.

State v. J.A.P.

July, 2015
Charges: Fourth Degree DUI

Stay of Imposition to an amended count of careless driving and the DUI charges were dismissed. The blood test revealed an alcohol concentration level of 0.15. Despite the client being nearly twice the legal limit, Mr. Gempeler was undeterred in seeking and obtaining a Careless Driving – which is usually reserved for 0.10 or lower. Mr. Gempeler was skillful and diligent in negotiating with a talented prosecutor. The icing on the cake was that the client was not required to complete a significant amount of community service or jail time to earn this outcome. The negotiated sentence required no jail, no community service, a minimal fine, and probation to the court.
