DUI Charge Resolved as Reckless Driving
June 2026
We recently represented a client charged with Driving Under the Influence in Alaska. The case involved a traffic stop, field sobriety testing, and a breath test result alleged to be over the legal limit.
After reviewing the evidence, the client's circumstances, and mitigation materials, we negotiated with the State for a non-DUI resolution. The State agreed to amend the DUI charge to Reckless Driving.
This resolution helped the client avoid a DUI conviction and the mandatory criminal penalties associated with a DUI conviction. It also provided a practical resolution tailored to the specific facts of the case.
This result does not resolve or describe any separate administrative license action. Every case depends on its own facts. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes.
Practice area(s): DUI / DWI
Court: Kenai District Court
