DUI Reduced to Reckless Driving

The Umansky Law Firm recently represented a client who was charged with DUI with property damage with a breath test over .20, as well as reckless driving. These charges are enough to ruin anyone’s life. The client was in school to be a commercial pilot, and a DUI plus these other penalties were enough to derail these plans.

Attorney Zahra Umansky filed motions to suppress the evidence, including the breath test results. At the motion hearing, Attorney Umansky was able to negotiate a plea offer with the prosecutor to drop the DUI charge completely and allow the client to plead to only the reckless driving charge. The client received only probation and no jail time, even though he was initially charged with a DUI with enhanced penalties.

These types of cases often involve people who make a serious error in judgment, but this doesn’t mean that they should have to pay for their mistake for the rest of their life. When someone’s mistake puts them on the wrong side of the law, they will need an experienced attorney to help them navigate the different aspects of the legal system.

If you have been charged with a DUI in Orange County or Orlando, Florida, or anywhere else in the state of Florida, please contact the experienced criminal defense attorneys at the Umansky Law Firm for an initial and confidential consultation.
