Mr. Sullivan represented a commercial truck driver in Atlanta who was stopped by a Georgia State Patrol DUI Task Force Trooper for not having his headlights on. Our client also failed to maintain his lane. The Trooper conducted field sobriety evaluations and our client was arrested for a DUI in Atlanta. The client agreed to submit to the state breath test and blew a .117. The legal limit is .08. Mr. Sullivan challenged the admissibility of the breath test in court along with a motion arguing our client’s right to a constitutional speedy trial was violated. The court found that the Fulton State Court prosecution was not able to meet it’s burden at a motion hearing and granted Mr. Sullivan’s motion to dismiss all charges. Our client’s commercial driver’s license and his career were saved.
