Restoring Peace of Mind: Sergio’s Story
Few moments in life feel heavier than carrying an old conviction. Sergio’s story shows what can happen when a legal team brings skill and determination to the table. Fifteen years ago, Sergio received a DUI conviction, a mark that followed him through every job application and background check. Years passed, but the weight never lifted—until new information about unreliable breath tests changed everything.
Uncovering the Truth after State v. Cassidy
Sergio’s original DUI stemmed from a breath test using the Alcotest device. Later, a scandal revealed that thousands of these machines in New Jersey had calibration problems, casting doubt on the accuracy of many results. The State v. Cassidy case set off a wave of appeals for those affected. Sergio’s case fit this troubling pattern, and his record deserved a fresh look.
Relief in Two Court Appearances
Clear, detailed communication runs through every case taken by Roberts & Teeter, LLC. Sergio reached out, hoping for fairness this time. With just two court appearances, our team successfully fought to reduce his DUI to a reckless driving charge. This decision removed years of stress from Sergio’s shoulders, giving him a sense of dignity and a clean start for future opportunities.
“I am beyond grateful to Roberts and Teeter LLC for what they achieved on my behalf. My DUI from 15 years ago—stemming from a breath test that was later found unreliable due to the miscalibration scandal known as State v. Cassidy—was reduced to a reckless driving charge. This case uncovered that the Alcotest device used in many DUI convictions was improperly calibrated, undermining the scientific reliability of those results.
For years, I carried the weight—and the embarrassment—of having to disclose a DUI on job applications. Thanks to the law firm’s exceptional skill and efficiency, that burden has been lifted in just two court appearances. Roberts and Teeter LLC restored my peace of mind and reputation, opening the door to a brighter future. I cannot recommend them highly enough.”
