Robinson Successful in NC Court of Appeals

The attorneys at The Robinson Law Firm were successful in convincing the North Carolina Court of Appeals to grant a new trial for their client charged with impaired driving. The unanimous December 3^rd opinion from the Court of Appeals concluded the State failed to lay the proper foundation to admit the breath test results from the Intoxilyzer EC/IR II, that the admission of the breath results constituted prejudicial error, and that this error entitled their client to a new trial. The Court of Appeals decision adopted the analysis advocated by Les Robinson to conclude the admission into evidence of breathalyzer result was reversible error.

The attorneys at The Robinson Law Firm have almost 40 years of trial experience with criminal cases in the district and superior court trial divisions in North Carolina. Likewise, The Robinson Law Firm has an extensive record of successful appeals in both the North Carolina Supreme Court and the North Carolina Court of Appeals, with several appellate cases addressing issues of first impression in North Carolina. Mr. Robinson is a frequent continuing legal education speaker for legal associations throughout North Carolina. In February of 2025, Mr. Robinson will be providing a legal update to criminal practitioners on the topic of impaired driving.
