Charges: 4th Degree DWI – Misdemeanor
Resolution:
Creative careless – stay of adjudication to a DWI count and conviction to an amended careless driving count. The end result is only a careless driving conviction. This is a fantastic outcome considering it was a .13 with no legal defenses available. Mr. Gempeler was persistent as heck in getting this outcome, as the prosecutor was unrelenting in the DWI offer for multiple hearings. Finally, after leveraging a trial date, Mr. Gempeler was able to get a non-DWI conviction for a client that absolutely needed it to best minimize possible job consequences stemming from this one-time mistake.
