WALLIN BEATS CLIENT’S DUI AND DRIVING WHILE SUSPENDED CASES!

Norman H. was charged with his second DUI. At trial, Mr. Wallin was able to show that the arresting officer had observed Norman drive for more than one half mile, without observing any erratic driving, except for momentarily going over the speed limit as he crossed a railroad track. After hearing only the officer’s testimony, a Markham Judge found Mr. H. Not Guilty of DUI. While this case was pending, Mr. H. was twice arrested for driving while suspended. Mr. Wallin obtained dismissals for his client on both cases, including one where he successfully argued that Mr. H. was illegally arrested after the police stopped him solely because a random check of his plates revealed that the car’s owner was suspended. Mr. Wallin argued that because the officer could not know whether the driver was in fact the owner of the vehicle, the officer had no legal justification for the stop.
