The Nichols Law Firm negotiated a non-DUI result for a client who was accused-but-not-guilty in a Michigan DUI case. “It was a matter of lining up an expert to discuss the variations of the datamaster and why there was no evidence of impaired driving” said Mike Nichols. The accused citizen had consumed 2 large beers while bowling, “when she walked out of the bowling alley, it was a whiteout.” The person blew a .06 then a .09 and a .09 on the bac datamaster, the current version of the breath test instrument in Michigan. “Clearly, there was something going on with the datamaster when one out of 3 tests showed her below the legal limit,” Nichols added. “I think we had a good argument: 33 percent of the chemical evidence pointed to innocence equals reasonable doubt; reasonable doubt equals not guilty.” As a result of being prepared, the client was allowed to plead to a non-dui offense and avoid any risk of conviction show that she could apply for medical school.
