Client was charged with DUI in Niles based on an alleged dangerous turn made into a Taco Bell parking lot on Milwaukee Ave. The Officer followed the vehicle into the lot and then, as the vehicle left the lot, continued to follow our client’s vehicle for at least 1/2 mile before pulling the vehicle over. The video only captured the driving on Milwaukee Ave. after the alleged “bad turn”. Once our client exited the vehicle, his performance on the field sobriety tests was better than average and his speech did not exhibit any slurred or confused speech. Mr. LaScola brought all of this to light on cross-examination of the Officer and our client was found Not Guilty after a trial. Prior to trial, Mr. LaScola also successfully defeated the client’s license suspension so that our client did not get suspended for this DUI arrest either. SSS and DUI both dismissed!!
