Defenses for DUI/DWI Charges

There are several defenses that our attorneys may use to help defend you against DUI/DWI charges, including:

Challenging the validity of the traffic stop

Law enforcement officers must have a valid reason to pull over a driver and investigate them for suspicion of DUI/DWI. Attorneys may challenge the validity of the traffic stop if they believe the officer did not have probable cause to pull over the driver.

_{Questioning the admissibility of the evidence against you}

Attorneys may question the admissibility of the evidence against their client, such as field sobriety tests, breathalyzer tests, or blood tests. This can involve examining whether the tests were administered correctly or if there were any errors or inaccuracies in the testing process.

Challenging the accuracy of field sobriety tests or breathalyzer tests

Field sobriety tests and breathalyzer tests are not always accurate and can be influenced by various factors. Attorneys may challenge the accuracy of these tests by questioning whether the tests were properly administered or if there were other factors that could have affected the results.

Questioning the training and qualifications of law enforcement officers

Attorneys may question the training and qualifications of the law enforcement officers involved in the case. This can include examining whether the officer was properly trained in administering field sobriety tests or operating a breathalyzer device.

Arguing that your rights were violated during the arrest or investigation

Attorneys may argue that their client's rights were violated during the arrest or investigation. This can include examining whether the officer had probable cause to make an arrest, whether the client was properly informed of their rights, or whether the client was subjected to any improper coercion or intimidation tactics.

Our attorneys have a deep understanding of DUI/DWI law and use this knowledge to build strong defense strategies that work to protect your rights and achieve the best possible outcome for your case.
