| John Hill & Associates Will Help You By: | |
| 1 | Evaluating the status of your case and updating you on any changes in your case status. |
| 2 | Attempting to lower your bail. |
| 3 | Defending you at the DMV license revocation hearing by presenting appropriate and relevant evidence that the DMV should not revoke your license. If you retain John Hill & Associates within ten days of your arrest, we can request such a hearing for you. If you do not seek such a hearing within 10 days of your arrest, the DMV may suspend your license for four months. |
| 4 | Gathering evidence to defend you. This might include hiring a private laboratory to reevaluate your blood alcohol test results and taking photographs of and diagramming the arrest location. |
| 5 | Asking the court to suppress certain evidence, which may lead to a dismissal of your case. |
| 6 | Analyzing all available legal defenses for your case. This may include evaluating the calibration and maintenance of the Breathalyzer machine used in determining your intoxication level, which could lead to a determination that your blood alcohol level was not above the legal limit. We will also look at the propriety of the officer’s stop and arrest, perhaps because the officer did not describe to you the consequences of refusing to take a blood or breath test. We will also consider road and environmental conditions that made the roadside coordination ("sobriety") test more difficult than the test was meant to be. Lastly, we will evaluate any physical conditions you had at the time of the arrest that may have led you to fail the roadside sobriety test. |
| 7 | Seeking reduced charges if available. |
| 8 | Representing you in a plea bargain or at trial. If the charges against you are a misdemeanor, you most likely will not have to appear in court. |
| 9 | Presenting the most effective defenses for your case, depending on our knowledge of the DA’s abilities and the judge’s history. |
| 10 | Seeking the lowest sentence available, or alternative sentencing. Alternative sentences include community service, as well as alcohol or drug rehabilitation programs. |
