Case Reduced to Reckless Driving. No Adjudication, No License Suspension, No Criminal Record.
April 2015
After about nine months of motion practice and persuasion, the State Attorney's office agreed to reduce the charge of DUI to a charge of Reckless Driving, with a withheld adjudication. For our client, that means that she will be able to seal her record, and go forward without a any sort of criminal record, either of the arrest or the dispostion.
Practice area(s): DUI / DWI
Court: Manatee County
