Attorney Richard Hein wins 2 DWI License Suspension Cases in one day.
Any Tuesday morning in St. Louis County Missouri Circuit Court will see several dozen attorneys in trial with several dozen DWI administrative cases. A DWI administrative case involves a driver losing his or her license to a suspension due to an arrest for driving while intoxicated. In Missouri, if a driver appeals the suspension or revocation of his driver’s license because of the arrest for DWI, he has what is called a “trial de novo”, which is an opportunity to try to remove the DWI suspension if the driver was given a breathalyzer test. Being lawyers who handle DWI administrative appeals of license suspensions in Missouri, we know that these cases are extremely difficult for the driver to win. If the driver loses the DWI administrative appeal, the DWI administrative suspension of the driver license remains on the driving record for life. If the attorney wins the administrative DWI appeal for the driver, nothing shows up on the driver’s record from the DWI administrative suspension.
On Tuesday, January 31, 2012, Attorney Richard Hein won 2 DWI administrative “trial de novo” appeals of license suspensions back-to-back, by persuading the same Judge that the paperwork which was introduced to show that the Blood Alcohol Content of the drivers was above the legal limit was unreliable because the police officer did not follow the required DWI checklists in giving the breathalyzer tests. To win 2 DWI administrative “trial de novo” appeals on the same day is nearly unprecedented, and all the more remarkable because as DWI lawyers in Missouri, we know that most lawyers don’t win any cases in their entire career.
