You are entitled to a DUI defense! Do not be misled by the evidence presented by law enforcement officials. It is not absolute, and it is not exempt from analysis or scrutiny. As a DUI attorney, I will summon and review the evidence and police reports associated with your arrest to be certain that your rights were observed and upheld throughout the sequence of events that ultimately led to your apprehension and incarceration.
Some of the factors that I will be looking for, while building your DUI defense include:
- Demonstrable Probable Cause: Did the police have a sufficiently clear indication to suspect that you were or may have been driving under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol?
- Proper Performance of Field Testing: Did the police make any inquiries pertaining to any existing physical defects, infirmities or handicaps that might affect your ability to successfully perform the preliminary field testing (i.e., being asked to follow a pen with just your eyes, walking in a straight line, standing on a single leg, etc.)?
- Proper Administration of Breathalyzer Testing: Did the police administer your breathalyzer testing in a timely fashion to ensure that its results would yield a Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) that was closer to the actual BAC that you had sustained at the time you were actually driving?
- Call my firm for DUI defense counsel today. I can provide you with a free consultation and a guarantee that, if I accept your case, I will handle each and every detail of your case.
