A recent client came to ENM Law for help with DUI and Simple Assault charges. It is alleged that this client was found asleep at the wheel of his car in the middle of the street and scuffled with police officers when arrested. One of the officers was injured as was the client. This client's original ARD application was denied because of his alleged conduct with police and later with doctors at the hospital and because of his alleged extreme level of intoxication. This client was facing a mandatory 72 hour jail sentence for the DUI and a maximum permissible sentence of two years of incarceration for each of the two Simple Assault charges. On behalf of her client, Attorney Ebner wrote to the District Attorney and asked him to reconsider for a variety of reasons. Ultimately, because of Attorney Ebner's representation, this client was approved for the ARD program and has the opportunity to avoid a jail sentence and conviction.
