When he was pulled over, he performed several field sobriety tests and submitted to a breath test. The arresting officer didn't state whether he passed or failed and stated he "refused to blow" in his final report. And, an additional breath test was not administered at the jail. He's in the process of retaining a lawyer referred by his uncle who is a judge. The lawyer isn't a DWI lawyer and I've researched him to find most of his cases are trial cases. Is this the lawyer to have?

Does the state have a case?

Does he, my boyfriend, need to prove he complied with the breath test?

Should he plead not guilty or try for deferred adjudication?

The lawyer has also told him he may be able to keep this off his record. Is this truthful?
