It’s possible, though not guaranteed, and it depends heavily on the specific facts of your stop and arrest. Cases get dismissed or reduced when there are real problems with how the stop was conducted, whether testing procedures were followed correctly, or whether the evidence actually supports every element of the charge. Some first offenders may also qualify for a diversion program that avoids a conviction if requirements are completed.
What actually gets cases dismissed
Illegal stops, improperly administered field sobriety or chemical tests, and breathalyzer maintenance or calibration problems are the kinds of issues that can lead to a dismissal or a significantly reduced charge. None of these are guaranteed in advance, they require a genuine review of your specific arrest.
