It was a weird year in the Kansas DUI arena, with the Kansas Supreme Court declaring that it was unconstitutional to make it a crime to refuse a breath, blood or urine test, the United States Supreme Court then saying it was NOT unconstitutional to make it a crime to refuse a breath test, and now the Kansas Supreme Court reconsidering its previous rulings. So, a whole lot of cases have been continued in 2016 as we await the (hopefully) final word from the Kansas Supremes. Even so, we had a lot of cases get set for trial. With the usual disclaimers about past performance not guaranteeing future results, here is how it went:

2016 DUI Case Results

The following are some of the results we have obtained for clients in DUI cases in 2016. This list only includes DUI cases and not any of the results we have obtained in defending other types of cases. Also, this list only includes DUI cases that resulted in dismissals or acquittals and does not include the favorable results we have obtained for clients that involved resolution by plea or diversion. It is extremely important to remember, though, that past performance does not guarantee or predict future results. Every case is different and each must be judged on its own merits.
