I represent a client on a felony Leandra’s Law DWI. She drove while intoxicated in a vehicle containing three children. The client is a school teacher and is facing termination. I immediately put together a plan of action since the local prosecutor rejected any plea bargaining. This meant that the client would be stuck either pleading guilty to a felony DWI or going to trial. A conviction to the felony DWI was certain to be met with termination from her employment. I am pleased to announce that the game plan worked and after several back and forth negotiations with the District Attorney’s Office, the client is being offered a plea that will allow her to keep her job, feed her family and stave off foreclosure. I and the client are elated at the result. All in a day’s work!!!
