State v. S.S.A.

Plea to 3rd Degree DWI - Gross Misdemeanor. The client had a recent prior (in fact, she's still on probation from it) and a high breath test reading. Further, she had a single-car accident that resulted in damage to public property. Her vehicle was subject to forfeiture, as well. Still, despite this bad facts, Mr. Gempeler negotiated a result that is consistent with a standard, low-reading second-time offense (which means, no further jail, minimal fine, no increase in house arrest often associated with high-reading/accident cases) and, most importantly to the client, the return of her vehicle. The client is very pleased with this result, understanding how easily it could have ended up so much worse for her without the proper counseling of North Star.
