DUI Attorney David Moyse Convinces Montgomery County Judge to Suppress FSTs.

Rockville DUI attorney

In a recent trial in May 2014, Rockville DUI attorney David Moyse convinced the District Court Judge that the police officer had no basis to request that his client perform field sobriety tests. As a result, the prosecution could not introduce any evidence of Moyse’s client being impaired by alcohol. This prevented the State from introducing Moyse’s client’s breath result of 0.15 – almost twice the legal limit. Moyse’s client was acquitted of all incarcerable charges, received no convictions, and no impact on her driving record.

David Moyse gets two clients Not Guilty verdicts on DUIs in the same day!

In May 2014, Maryland DUI attorney David Moyse had an impressive morning as he helped two clients beat their DUI charges and avoid jail time.

In the first case, the prosecuting attorney planned to ask for a month in jail for Moyse’s client’s third DUI. Moyse successfully convinced the Montgomery County District court Judge to dismiss the case in its entirety for failing to provide the Defendant with a “Speedy Trial.” Moyse’s argument was bolstered by the fact that the Defendant had appeared twice in court with Moyse demanding a trial, but both times the Court ran out of time to hear the case.

Ultimately, the client walked out of Court with no fines, no points, and no jail!

In the second case, Moyse’s client was underage, driving over 130 mph on the Beltway, and admitted to consuming some alcohol. Maryland DUI lawyer David Moyse successfully cross-examined the arresting officer into admitting many facts that were damaging to the State’s case.

At the close of evidence, the Defendant was found NOT GUILTY of DUI, DWI, and Fleeing and Eluding. The client still faced hefty fines for driving 130 mph in a public area, but escaped jail time and kept a clean DUI record.

DWI charges tossed when officer found to be out of his jurisdiction.

Maryland DUI lawyer David Krum convinced a Montgomery County District Court Judge to throw out all traffic charges in a DWI case where the Defendant had been stopped for speeding and weaving over the lane. The judge sided with Mr. Krum who argued that the officer was out of his jurisdiction and that the stop was invalid as the officer did not have the authority to enforce the Motor Vehicle Laws outside of his jurisdiction. Mr. Krum also argued, and the Montgomery County Judge agreed, that the testimony regarding the client’s speed was invalid as the officer did not have the proper certification of his police vehicle with him in court.

Attorney David Krum convinced a Howard County district court judge to sentence the Defendant to only four days of incarceration for his client’s third and fourth DWIs. The Jezic, Krum & Moyse client had been charged with driving under the influence two times within 30 days. In each case, the client had submitted a breathe test over .20, an amount almost 3 times more than the legal limit in Maryland. Attorney David Krum forced the Howard County State’s Assistant State’s Attorney to dismiss one of the cases and following a plea, where the state was asking for 6 months, convinced the judge to sentence the Jezic, Krum & Moyse, client to only 4 days in jail.

Maryland Injury Attorney Wins Trial Based on Key Photographic Evidence.

Maryland personal injury attorney, Jonathan Carroll, fought hard at trial after his client had been sideswiped by another car that unlawfully merged into his lane. The at-fault driver tried to argue at court that our client was the one who unlawfully left his lane. Our client prevailed, because he had photographs of the scene that showed the at-fault driver in his lane. If you are involved in an accident, it is important to take as many photos at the accident scene as possible.
