Public Intoxication — Charge Dismissed

Case Description

Our client, a veteran licensed professional with nearly 30 years of experience, faced an unexpected legal challenge after being arrested for public intoxication at a party. The arrest and resulting fine threatened not only his professional license but also his ability to continue working as he approached retirement.

Legal Strategy

We worked closely with the District Attorney, presenting our client’s impeccable professional history and the context of the incident, ultimately persuading the DA to dismiss the charge.

Challenges

The primary challenge was the potential impact of the arrest on our client’s professional license. Even a minor charge like public intoxication could have resulted in disciplinary action from the licensing board, putting his career and retirement plans at risk.

Resolution

Through diligent negotiation and a strong presentation of our client’s circumstances, we successfully secured the dismissal of the charge. This allowed our client to renew his license without issue and continue his professional journey towards a well-deserved retirement.
