A commercial driver came to Piel Law Office after being charged with operating a motor vehicle with a detectable amount of a restricted controlled substance. Because the client held a commercial driver’s license (CDL), the case carried serious consequences that could have affected their ability to continue working.
During the case, important video evidence that should have been available in discovery was missing. The client also raised concerns about how the investigation had been handled.
The case proceeded to a court trial. During the proceedings, questions arose regarding the foundation for the blood test results presented by the prosecution.
After the client was initially found guilty, the case was appealed to the Wisconsin Court of Appeals. The appellate court overturned the conviction.
As a result, the OWI charge was dismissed.
Piel Law Office is a Wisconsin-based criminal defense firm with over 30 years of experience protecting clients facing OWI and other serious criminal charges.
