Recent RN DUI Defense Results

Recently, our criminal defense DUI attorneys have been getting some pretty stellar results for our California Registered Nursing clients:

LA County DUI arrest for driving under the influence of .08% or more, reduced to a โ€œwet and reckless,โ€ no requirement for an interlock device and 3 years informal court probation. These are the results we dream about. We will assist our client in disclosing this conviction to the BRN, which will VERY LIKELY result in a citation and fine being issued from the BRN in lieu of any formal disciplinary action against our clientโ€™s license.
San Diego County DUI arrest with relatively high BAC, plead no contest to a stipulation of .12% BAC, resulting in lesser penalties during probation. Whatโ€™s more, when disclosed to the Board of Licensed Vocational Nursing (BLVNPT) the .12% conviction resulted in no action and we expect a citation and fine upon disclosure of the conviction to the BRN.
DMV Hearing Win Complete set aside of the license suspension after utilizing an expert forensic toxicologist and having the breath results thrown out. This will hopefully result in the DA agreeing to a โ€œwet & recklessโ€ and our client will be issued only a citation and fine against their RN License from the BRN.
