In a recent challenging case, Attorney Jacob Blizzard successfully defended a client facing a felony charge for a third DWI offense.
The client, who had two prior DWIs, was at risk of facing severe penalties with a third DWI, including mandatory jail time.
However, Mr. Blizzard strategically argued that the prior offenses were aged and presented a compelling case regarding the client’s borderline blood alcohol levels (BAC) at the time of the arrest.
Through Mr. Blizzard’s expert negotiation and advocacy, he was able to persuade the prosecutor to treat this incident as a first-time DWI offense.
Outcome
Consequently, the client was granted a reduction in charges to a misdemeanor DWI, resulting in a sentence of one year probation with no jail time.
Mr. Blizzard advocated for client to have case treated as misdemeanor rather than a felony, where Client had two prior DWIs, making this third DWI a felony. Mr. Blizzard argued that the age of the DWIs should be considered and also that Client’s borderline blood alcohol levels (BAC) should be considered. Mr. Blizzard was able to convince the prosecutor to treat the case as a first time DWI and give Client probation only with no jail time component (jail time is required for a 2nd or more DWI).[/column]
