JANUARY 13, 2009: RESULTS: CLIENT'S LICENSE RETURNED THUS NO SUSPENSION FOR DUI ARREST
January 16, 2009 A sheriff deputy was on patrol in Palm Beach County in Boca Raton. He observed the Client's vehicle weaving from "side to side from its lane of travel" and hit a curb. He stopped this vehicle and made observations he believed showed possible signs of impairment. This deputy called another deputy to begin a DUI investigation. The second deputy had the Client perform Field Sobriety Exercises and noted overall poor performance. In fact, she performed several of the exercises well. The report showed that the deputy "did not observe any clues" on the Romberg/Alphabet task.
DUI Attorney Robert Norvell filed a demand for a Formal Review Hearing at the Department of Motor Vehicles. This is the hearing to fight to get the Client's license back following the arrest. Despite the deputy's reports, the Department found "insufficient evidence to support" the arrest and suspension. Client got her license back.
