Dismissal

Summary: The client is an immigrant student in the middle of trying to obtain his Master’s degree. Because of his immigration status, the client could take nothing less than dismissal or acquittal. After hanging out with friends and having a few beers, on his way home he was stopped for allegedly speeding going 90mph in a 60mph zone on the 610 highway. The officer conducted field sobriety tests and claimed my client failed all three tests. The client voluntarily submitted to give a breath result and blew a 0.114 score. Ultimately, Chris Denuna was able to point out to the prosecutor that there was a serious disconnect between how the client looked on the video to what his breath score is. He pointed out the flaws in the breath test machine and the science of the breath test machine. The prosecutor ended up doing the reasonable thing and dismissing the case and giving my client’s immigration status and life back. We are now working to get this arrest expunged from his record so that it will not affect his future in school as well as his immigration status.
