We successfully assisted our client in a case involving a DUI Dismissal in Westminster with an accident, which ultimately got dismissed. Our client was the sole driver of his car in a Garden Grove neighborhood when he flipped his car over. Following the accident, medics had to extricate him from the vehicle. The Garden Grove Police Department DUI Officer later visited him at the UCI Medical Center for interrogation. From a layperson’s standpoint, and evidently from the officer’s perspective, the case appeared to be a clear instance of DUI. However, the officer’s report contained significant errors, particularly regarding the time of driving, which created a substantial gap in the prosecution’s case. Additionally, issues with witness availability further weakened their position.
In response, we filed a 1538.5 motion for dismissal. With the combined factors at play, we successfully achieved a dismissal of the case. As a result, our client faced no DMV sanctions from the Orange Driver Safety Office and avoided a criminal conviction from the Westminster courthouse for this DUI with an accident
