DMV Refusal Case Dismissed

Prior results do not guarantee a similar future outcome.

 

John Ingrassia recently prevailed at a NYS DMV refusal hearing.  His client was arrested for DWI and was alleged to have refused to a chemical test of his blood following a single car motor vehicle accident.

Mr. Ingrassia’s cross examination of the arresting officer established that the officer had yet to place his client under arrest prior to asking him to submit to a blood test.

In addition, Mr. Ingrassia established that the police had successfully applied to a Judge for a search warrant and ultimately seized a sample of his client’s blood which was taken for medical treatment at the hospital.

Mr. Ingrassia successfully argued to the DMV Judge that because the police had in fact received a blood sample of his client there should not be a penalty for allegedly refusing.

As a result, the DMV refusal case was dismissed and his client was spared a 12 month revocation of his driver’s license .
