State v. L.H.

Plea to a single count, no jail to serve, and a minimal term of probation. The client blew nearly triple the legal limit and got into a single-vehicle accident. Needless to say, difficult facts to overcome, especially with no real legal defense to try to leverage. The prosecutor initially offered time to be served in custody and a minimum of four-years probation. Through a strategic approach that used time to the advantage, Mr. Gempeler eventually obtained a plea negotiation that avoided jail, lowered the probationary period to two-years, and the remaining terms and conditions are very straight forward. Considering what he was up against, the client is very pleased with this outcome and avoiding what would have come had he chosen a different firm to represent him.
