Well, if you took a blood test, that should settle the issue as to exactly what was in your system. Unfortunately, in many counties the fact that you have some overtime or controlled drug present in your system is usually enough for them to pursue this criminal charge against you. They will rarely... View More

State's attorney's are never great at returning calls. Their caseloads are just too high. Usually it is easier to catch them at court. Does your lawyer not work there regularly?
