Recently, Torrance DUI Attorney Matthew Ruff was successful in getting serious driving under the influence causing injuries (VC23153) and other charges dropped in exchange for a plea to a misdemeanor non injury DUI. The plea agreement required informal probation, a fine, alcohol class and some community service and restitution. No jail time was imposed.

The incident occurred on PCH and involved a rear end collision between the client and the victim’s vehicle. The client was arrested and booked for felony DUI with injury charges and felony hit and run with injury.

Matthew was able to show there was insufficient evidence of the driving under the influence causing injury and the hit and run resulting in injuries charges. Matthew had previously won the DMV hearing on the refusal arguing a theory of defense known as “Miranda Confusion”, thereby saving the client from a mandatory 1 year license suspension. The attorney used that decision from the DMV along with other facts obtained during his investigation in his negotiations with the prosecution.

The disposition was the culmination of months of investigation, court hearings and negotiations. Though the case originated as a felony arrest and charges, the ultimate resolution was for a misdemeanor non-injury DWI. A copy of the official Court Docket is shown below:⬇️

DUI causing injury can result in prison time of up to 3 years. The client was very grateful and posted a client review for Matthew Ruff shown below, referring to the outcome as “the deal of a lifetime”.⬇️
