  Coweta DUI Lawyer Recent DUI success stories: The only unwinnable DUI is the untried DUI!  Stay tuned for more victories.  The wins just keep on coming!  Past success does not guarantee future results only a dedication to winning your DUI, hard work and our clients.

1) DUI Coweta County, Roscoe Road, Ga Hwy 70, February 13, 2009.  Client was pulled over for allegedly weaving.  Video revealed no weaving.  State Patrol Trooper testified that although client was speaking in a normal voice, got out of his car normally, and walked normally that he was less safe becuase he failed an eye jerk test or Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus (HGN) and had an odor of alcohol and old beer bottles in his truck.  Video showed that Trooper failed to perform the HGN test according to his training and client appeared stone cold sober on video despite admitting drinking 2-3 beers in 2-3 hours. Client refused a test of his breath. The breath test rights were confusing to client who thought the Trooper was referring to a road side breath test and not one at the jail on the state certified machine. JURY found client NOT GUILTY on failure to maintain lane and DUI in 20 minutes.  Court directed a verdict on the open container charges as there was no proof of alocohol content on the beer bottles found in the car a requirement of the statute.

2) DUI Newnan, Coweta County Georgia, February 11, 2009.  Client was pulled over by a City of Newnan Police Officer as he pulled into a parking space at the Corner Tavern in Newnan, Georgia.  The Officer observed no traffic offenses, but had received a BOLO (Be on Look Out) for a similar car containing three white males that were involved in a fight at a bar in Newnan called Baja's.  The state called the bouncer from Baja's who testified that the client was the only sober, calm and not violent member of his party.  The Bouncer also testified that he believed the client was a safe driver at the time.  Police Officers did not activate their video and claimed that client had slurred speech, unsteady walk and red eyes as well as failed his field sobriety tests indicating that he was a less safe driver because of alcohol.  Cross-Examination revealed that the Officer did not perform the field sobriety tests as trained and could not do the tests himself in the courtroom. Further, slurred speech, red eyes and unsteadiness became slightly slurred and possibly accent, slightly red eyes and a stutter step and not unsteadiness. Client refused a test of his breath as english is a second language and he did not understand the complicated legal terms of the rights read and Officer made no effort to explain them.  Jury found client NOT GUILTY ON ALL COUNTS.

3) DUI Coweta County, Georgia: February 5, 2009. Client was pulled over for having non-working tail lights.  Client had been eating a birthday dinner with his wife, children and in-laws where he consumed no alcohol.  He then went to a friends house and consumed one beer.  Later that evening while driving home, Defendant was followed and stopped by a Georgia State Patrol Trooper.  Client committed no traffic violations other than defective tail light and weaving within the lane which was mentioned only at jury trial. Client had normal speech, normal eyes, normal walk.  Client did not complete the HGN, counted to twenty on the one leg stand, and stepped off line on the walk and turn.  The Trooper did not qualify Client about a motorcycle accident before performing field sobriety tests despite training to do so.  Client refused a breath test at the scene but requested a blood test and agreed to either a blood or breath test after the Trooper left the jail.  Client's wife and friend testified that he only had one beer.  Client's twin daughters were in car. State introduced similar transaction from 2006 where client blew .140.  Attorney used similar transaction against them by showing what client looked like when he was DUI and that in the first case he pled guilty with out an attorney because he was guilty versus this case where he was not affected by alcohol and fought for his life.  Jury found client NOT GUILTY on DUI and two counts of child endangerment in 40 minutes.
