DUI Arrest Reduced to Reckless Driving 

We successfully negotiated a resolution to the case where the client entered a No Contest plea to Reckless Driving, and she received a withhold of adjudication to the reduced charge.  She received no convictions, no points on her license, and the client is eligible to seal the entire criminal record.

Client was on vacation in the Florida Keys.  She was driving on US-1 at night with no headlights or taillights on, and a police officer pulled her over for the traffic infraction.  Upon approaching her vehicle, the officer claimed he immediately smelled alcohol on her breath, and client admitted to drinking two hard seltzers approximately one hour previously.  The officer asked the client to perform field sobriety exercises and she agreed.  The officer said she performed poorly on the field sobriety exercises and arrested her for DUI.  When the officer and client arrived at the police station, the officer asked client to provide a breath sample.  At this point, client became combative and argumentative, and repeatedly refused to provide a breath sample.  She was ultimately charged with one count of DUI.
