DUI cases are won on details, and we’re very, very thorough.
Put the conduct of arresting officers under a microscope.
Every DWI or DUI case begins with a traffic stop. That stop must be lawful. The detention must be justified. And the arrest must be supported by probable cause.
- Obtain and analyze all relevant reports and documentation, as well as body- and patrol-camera footage.
- Challenge the reasonable suspicion for the traffic stop.
- Look for potential flaws in the handling of field sobriety tests.
Often, at least one aspect of a stop or arrest is conducted improperly. That’s all we need to make a strong case for dismissal.
Attack the State’s evidence from every angle.
The State relies on admissible evidence to prove intoxication. That evidence may include officer observations, field sobriety tests, body camera footage, or breath and blood tests.
- Review video evidence to verify the accuracy of police reports.
- Go after the operation and maintenance of breathalyzers and testing protocols.
- In the case of a blood draw, challenge whether the procedure was conducted lawfully and by a qualified technician.
We’ll review all available reports and recordings. We look at how tests were administered, whether equipment was maintained, and whether timing affects the results. If the evidence is incomplete, unreliable, or improperly obtained, it matters.
Get a clear defense strategy.
Before we even get close to the courthouse, we’ll have a strong and clear defense strategy, and we’ll make sure you understand exactly what’s happening.
- The State must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you were operating a motor vehicle.
- Prosecutors must prove intoxication at the time of driving, not merely at the time of testing. They make mistakes; we capitalize.
- If you exercise your right to remain silent, we can question how soon you allegedly drank before being pulled over; the timing of absorption is critical to the case, and we can win on those facts.
Each case is different. The strategy is based on facts, not shortcuts.
