Client was charged with felony DUI and felony child abuse after a collision involving a two-year-old passenger and a high blood alcohol concentration. These charges carried serious prison exposure and long-term consequences. Through our network of trusted treatment providers and a structured mitigation plan, we secured a no-custody resolution. The case was later reduced to a misdemeanor and expunged.
The case arose from a single-vehicle collision. Client was charged with felony violations of Vehicle Code sections 23152(a) and (b) and Penal Code section 273a(a), based on allegations of impaired driving with a minor in the car. The prosecution viewed the facts as especially aggravating given the presence of a child and the elevated BAC.
We moved quickly to develop a mitigation strategy. Client engaged in treatment through a provider we regularly work with and completed a structured course of care. We presented verified documentation of progress and argued that a rehabilitative approach served both public safety and justice.
The case resolved without jail time. After successful completion of probation, the felony was reduced to a misdemeanor and expunged. Client was left with no criminal record.
