Case #1: Police trailed a driver for over 30 minutes, watching him swerve, and arrested him on suspicion of driving under the influence (DUI) once he crossed over county lines. It had some of the signs of a DUI—except it wasn’t. The driver did a blood test, which showed he did not have illegal limits of any substance in his blood. Thanks to a strong defense by Lone Peak Law Group, the case was dismissed.
Case #2: After a wreck, a shaken driver admitted to marijuana use—but from a week prior. Police jumped to a DUI charge. Blood results told the real story: no active THC in the person’s bloodstream. Thanks to a thorough attorney review by Lone Peak Law Group, the case was dismissed.
Case #3: Police were searching for a reckless driver but questioned the wrong person. During questioning, he admitted to drinking earlier, and prosecutors pushed for a DUI against him as a separate case. Lone Peak Law Group considered filing a suppression motion, but those aren’t guaranteed wins. Instead of risking it, the client chose to plead down to reckless driving with a deferred sentence. This meant no jail time and no long-term criminal record.

Many people call an Order of Protection a “restraining order,” but they’re not the same. An Order of Protection is a stronger legal measure because violating it can result in criminal charges. The length of an order of protection can vary significantly, depending on the specific circumstances and details of the case.
