Avoided Driver’s License Suspension

My client was charged with a misdemeanor DUI. The DMV was going to suspend their driver’s license, so we set it for a hearing with a DMV hearing officer. I pointed out to the DMV hearing officer that the police officer did not properly administer the breath tests. The hearing officer did not impose the license suspension, and my client retained his right to drive.
