Nicole Naum Wins Loudoun County DUI Trial

What Happened in This Case

Attorney Nicole Naum’s client was pulled over and charged with DUI in Loudoun County. During Nicole’s review of the evidence, she found three critical problems:

  • A .08 BAC carries a margin of error of up to .004, which means the true result could easily fall below the legal limit.

  • Her client showed clear signs of sobriety, which contradicted the allegation of impairment.

  • The breath test certificate was never properly filed with the clerk’s office, which meant the Commonwealth could not admit it into evidence.

When Nicole moved to strike the Commonwealth’s case, the judge agreed. The DUI charge was dismissed.

Why This Matters for Anyone Facing a DUI in Loudoun

We never promote or excuse drunk driving. DUI charges are serious, and impaired driving puts everyone at risk. In this case, Nicole’s client was not intoxicated and was wrongfully arrested. This is exactly why an experienced trial attorney matters. When the evidence doesn’t support a DUI, you need someone who will challenge it and protect your rights.

A DUI arrest does not always equal a conviction. Loudoun County prosecutions can be tough, but they still require:

  • Accurate, reliable scientific evidence

  • Proper filing and admission of testing documents

  • A clear demonstration of impairment

  • Compliance with evidentiary rules

  • A fair and lawful process

Not every attorney is prepared to take a DUI case to trial. Even fewer have the technical knowledge to identify issues with breath testing, procedural errors, or scientific reliability. Nicole brings all of that to the table.
