DUI Reduced to Reckless

On a second DUI charge in Sarasota County court, my firm was able to have the State of Florida reduce the charge to a reckless driving and avoid any driver's license suspension. On a second offense, my client was facing a 5 year driver's license suspension. After winning the DMV hearing, he will suffer no license suspension. My client refused the DUI field sobriety exercises, and refused to take the breathtest. Although there was some bad driving, the smell of alcohol on his breath, his admission to drinking, we were able to get the case reduced to the lesser offense of reckless driving.
