Only days before a court hearing involving a third driving under the influence of alcohol charge we were contacted by an anxious and stressed client who was concerned about the prospect of a prison sentence. She was also nervous about attending court to appear before a Magistrate. We reassured our client that we could deal with the matter on her behalf and without the need to attend court. We then persuaded the Magistrate to impose minimum penalties. Our client was obviously ecstatic given this was her third DUI offence.
