Dealing with drunk driving cases can be seen as tedious due to the amount of time it takes to effectively collect all of the necessary information and evidence required to prepare a solid defense case. From the discovery phase to the trial, each portion is equally important. However, there are other ways in which the trial can be completed. Getting your DUI case dismissed is always a favorable outcome for all those involved on the defense side.

Is It Possible for me to get My DUI dismissed?

Complete dismissals of a DUI are not common at all. In order for a case to be completely dismissed there must be some sort of exigent circumstance present. Generally, these circumstances will present themselves in the form of mal-practice by law enforcement officials, or malfunction by technology used to analyze blood or breath. In recent history, district judge Ian M. O’Flaherty dismissed three alleged drunk drivers claiming they had no presumption of innocence. In his ruling he held that “Virginia's law is unconstitutional because it presumes an individual with a blood alcohol content of 0.08 or higher is intoxicated and denies a defendant's right to the presumption of innocence.” This ruling has lawyers everywhere looking at drunk driving cases in a whole new perspective.

A Word about License Hearing Documents

Another option which can be similar to a dismissal is getting the DUI charge lessened. Instead of being charged with a DUI, there are other “traffic infringements” which can be utilized. If the defense feels that the prosecution has insufficient evidence to uphold a DUI conviction, they may try for a guilty plea of a lesser charge. Generally speaking this charge is reckless driving. While there are no sure fire ways to avoid DUI convictions, there are certainly factors which increase the odds. The fewer factors, the greater chance you have of a pre-trial settlement. Here are a few examples:

• Blood test results
• Breathalyzer Results
• Urine Tests
• Car Accidents
• Video footage of Sobriety test
• Driver or passenger statements depicting impaired driving
• Behavior conducted towards the officers
• Prior DUI convictions

The more of these factors you can avoid, the better chance you will inevitably have in getting the charge lowered from a DUI conviction to any number of other infringements. So while getting a DUI case completely dismissed is exceptionally rare, getting the charge reduced is totally feasible.
