State v. A.G.
February, 2020
Charges: 4th Degree DWI - Misdemeanor
Resolution:
Plea to an amended count of an Unsafe Change of Course as a misdemeanor - truly a traffic ticket. The client was charged with a DWI, despite a .07 (which means there was no loss of license). With some proactive steps, the State moved to a Careless Driving - which should be an automatic offer. But, a Careless Driving was not good enough the client because it still would have restricted her from traveling to Canada for work - i.e. she could have lost her job. Even though the prosecutor insisted she could not move off a Careless Driving, the North Star team persisted and got additional information verifying the job consequence. When the State was confronted with so much proactive steps and thought through the job consequence, they made an offer that is nearly unheard of - amending the DWI to a traffic ticket. You know it's a remarkable plea negotiation when even the judge comments he has never seen a DWI resolved in this way. The client was thankful and relieved that she can move forward with a DWI and know her career is not jeopardized.
