Saperstein’s client was convicted of his 5th offense OWI/DUI, a felony with a maximum prison sentence of 6 years. Saperstein filed a sentencing memorandum which described in detail the client’s extensive treatment, his advancement at work, his recent marriage and other positive factors for the court to consider. Saperstein also gathered over a dozen character letters and had some of the character references testify at the sentencing hearing. This attention to detail paid off big time for the client. The DA argued for prison, but the client ended up with a 4 1/2 month jail sentence that he was able to serve on electronic monitoring (“house arrest”).
