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.
