DRUNK DRIVING CHARGES TO BE DISMISSED THANKS TO MOTION FILED FOR NLF CLIENT

By Michael Nichols

A Nichols Law Firm client is the beneficiary of a successful result in a drunk driving case in which the blood aclohol content was allegedly .18.  "We filed a motion to suppress those test results" said attorney Mike Nichols. Nichols added "the reason is because the arresting officer did not follow the rules for observing the subject for 15 minutes immediately prior to administering the test."  Said Nichols: "I was so pleased for the client because she had a lot at stake because of her job."  Ultimately, the prosecuting attorney agreed to a plea bargain that will result in the client having a conviction for a non-alcohol related offense on her record so it saved her the attorney fees and the stress of litigating the case to the final outcome.
