This is a Serious Crime
Anyone driving on a public road who is intoxicated or chemically impaired can face DUI charges. The hardest part is not knowing what will happen with your case.
Even a first-time offender can face an automatic license suspension, time behind bars, fines, and other penalties. It is exceedingly difficult for someone to go about their life when they are facing a DUI charge.
Anyone with a previous DUI charge faces enhanced penalties as a repeat offender. For example, if you have a prior DUI, then your license can be revoked for up to five years. You might end up with a felony charge for too many prior DUI convictions. Felons can end up in prison for years.
Let our law firm review the charges and determine the correct way to fight back. There are various defense strategies which have been successful:
- Challenge the constitutionality of the stop. Police need a reason to stop you in the first place. If they lack the necessary cause, then you can ask a judge to throw out your case as a violation of your Fourth Amendment rights.
- Undermine the validity of any chemical test. Many cases hinge on a breath or urine test. The results are not always reliable. Many people could end up handling a urine sample, for example, which can undermine the strength of this evidence.
- Argue you weren’t driving. Sometimes police only show up after you get into an accident. The officer might mistakenly think you were driving the car involved in the wreck when you weren’t.
- Dispute that you were driving in an impaired fashion. There might be no breathalyzer or urine test results. In that case, the prosecution rests mostly on the testimony of the arresting officer. We can present other witnesses who testify that you were not driving dangerously.
Every case is different. The best DUI defense is tailored to the facts of your case. We avoid “off the rack” defense strategies if they have no shot of working.
