DWI Charges reduced after physical condition questions breath tests

Prior results do not guarantee a similar future outcome.

John Ingrassia was able to persuade local county prosecutors to allow his client who holds a commercial driver’s license (CDL) and who was charged with 2 counts of DWI to plead guilty to a Reckless Driving charge thereby saving his client’s CDL.

Mr. Ingrassia was able to establish through expert witness testimony at an evidentiary license suspension hearing that his client suffered from a physical condition which called into question the reliability of the chemical breath test results.

As a result, prosecutors allowed for, and the court approved, the guilty plea to the non alcohol related Reckless Driving charge.

This case illustrates the importance of investigating a client’s medical history to look for viable defenses to DWI charges and then consulting with qualified expert witnesses to support same.
