Many lawyers are having problems figuring out the issues a driver charged with DUI who holds a CDL. AN INTERLOCK IS A SUSPENSION AND YOU LOSE YOUR CDL. A PBJ FOR DUI OR PER SE LOSES YOUR CDL. If you blow a .15 or above take the 90 day hit, and then you get your CDL...
Thus spoke the police officer at an MVA Hearing last week. I will have the tape of this admission for the jury trial in Baltimore City. He condensed the HGN exam, because he sometimes does that. He admitted he was not supposed to. Wrong instructions on the Walk and...
The judge today asked the police officer to perform the tests on her exactly as on the client. On the HGN he held the stimulus so high she had to crane her neck. I showed him the NHTSA Manual and he agreed it was held to high. On the one-leg stand he told to hold...

I won a Driving Under the Influence of Xanex this week. It had been continued from last month where I had a lot of fun cross-examing the Drug Recognition “Expert.” The witness has been an “expert” since 1993, and this was the first time he ever testified. People...
Two weeks ago I tried a DUI that had career implications for my client. The police were very upset about the prospect of a trial and having to be in court all day. They didn’t like my outlook on the case and asked a “regular” who is this guy Bernstein. He told them...
