DUI DISMISSED! What a great thing to say. Having knowledgeable attorneys who have a chance at attacking the governments case at various points of the process is worth every penny. With cops being ever more overzealous to make these stops and subsequent arrests - they are not always without fault and open up the case to dismissal!
