Document:
A lot of cases were put on hold awaiting the Kansas Supreme Court to reconsider their ruling that it was unconstitutional to make it a crime to refuse a test in Kansas. Fortunately, the Supreme Court stuck to their previous ruling and struck down the law. So, cases that were in a holding pattern will now likely get resolved next year. Still, our firm managed to find success in defending DUI cases in 2017.
The following are some of the results we have obtained for clients in DUI cases in 2017. This list only includes DUI cases and not any of the results we have obtained in defending other types of cases. Also, this list only includes DUI cases that resulted in dismissals or acquittals and does not include the favorable results we have obtained for clients that involved resolution by plea or diversion. It is extremely important to remember, though, that past performance does not guarantee or predict future results. Every case is different and each must be judged on its own merits. No expectation of similar results in other cases should be implied by this information.
