Tough Times Call For Tough Representation
Generally you are not having an Administrative Hearing in a refusal case. Your client either takes the 120 day suspension or puts the interlock on for a year. A client tells me that after he is advised by the officer who reads him the DR-15 he asks to speak to a...
Deja Vu all over again! Same Courthouse, different prosecutor, different cop. Same bullshit. Another video that does not show all the bad driving described. This MDTA officer tried to explain it by saying he waited until after all the bad stuff happened before...
