# DUI Reduced to Reckless Driving — No Jail Time

### The Situation:

A professional in their 30s was arrested for DUI after being stopped at a late-night checkpoint. They had a clean record and were cooperative with police, but the breathalyzer showed a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.09—just above Nevada’s legal limit of 0.08.

### Our Strategy:

We began by requesting all calibration and maintenance records for the breathalyzer device used in the case. Our investigation revealed **irregularities in device calibration logs** that could call the accuracy of the BAC reading into question. We also reviewed bodycam footage, which showed no signs of impaired driving or behavior inconsistent with the client’s rights.

### The Result:

Our attorneys used this evidence to negotiate with the city prosecutor. In exchange for the client agreeing to attend a brief alcohol education program and pay a reduced fine, the charge was lowered to **reckless driving**, a non-alcohol-related traffic offense.

- No jail time

- No driver’s license suspension

- No DUI conviction on their permanent record

For a working professional, this made all the difference in protecting both their career and personal reputation.
