State v. Mr. M (2017)

Practice Area:Criminal Law/ DUI

Date:June 29, 2017

Description:Pima County Consolidated Justice Court: Twenty-year-old Mr. M was alleged to have committed an underage DUI, after being stopped by a Department of Public Safety trooper after an alleged traffic violation. If found guilty, Mr. M could have been required to serve jail time, install an ignition interlock device, complete alcohol  classes, pay a fine, and lose his driver’s license for two years. Mr. Goebel was able to convince the prosecutor to offer a reduced plea offer to Minor in Possession of Alcohol. This prevented Mr. M from having an underage DUI on his record, avoid jail time, and he did not receive any suspension of his driving privileges.

Results depend upon factors unique to each case. Results in one case do not predict results in another case.
