Santa Clara County (San Jose) .13% BAC 3rd Offense DUI Case Conclusion Date: 04.28.2022 Practice Area: DUI and DWI Outcome: NO ACTUAL JAIL: 160 days Electronic Monitoring, 18 Month DUI School, $2769 Fine; 2 Years IID Description: Client was visiting California from Idaho when he was stopped by the San Jose Police Department because he forgot to turn on the headlights in his rental vehicle. Client had a few drinks, so his BAC came back a .13 % by blood test. Although only booked for DUI, the District Attorney later learned that he had two active DUI priors from Idaho and another in Texas. As a result, client was charged with a 3rd Offense DUI, almost ensuring that he would spend a significant time in ACTUAL CUSTODY JAIL. We worked this case for two years and in the end, settled it for NO ACTUAL JAIL and client never had to return to California once to appear in his case. INCREDIBLE RESULT. Client sentenced to 5 years informal probation, 160 days house arrest/electronic monitoring, 18 month DUI school (online), 2 years IID and fine of $2769. License revoked in California for 3 years. This "no jail" result allowed client to keep his job and an opportunity to turn this around and never do it again.
