High Test OVI Reduced to Physical Control

A young MBA candidate was out with colleagues celebrating a little too much. He had a lot to celebrate, but also a lot to lose. He made the poor decision of driving home. He was pulled over at 2 am after a local officer witnessed a handful of traffic violations. Smelling a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage, the officer demanded our client step out of the vehicle and perform standardized field sobriety tests. He failed the three tests and was asked to submit to a breath test. He tested nearly a .20.

He needed to avoid a high test OVI conviction. He was referred to the attorneys with LHA by a colleague. After several pretrials in mayor’s court, we filed a motion to transfer the matter to municipal court.

Months later, we negotiated a plea to reduce the high test OVI to a Physical Control. Our client avoided the mandatory jail time, yellow plates, and most importantly the OVI conviction.
