A Key to Success in DUI Defense
Did you know there are often 2 tapes of the DUI arrest? Did you know that there is an administrative procedure that can help you get your license back? Did you know that breath test machines have to be certified and calibrated? Did you know that frequently, part of the evidence the officer gathers against you is not admissible in a trial?
Proper investigation is one of the keys to our success in the defense of drunk driving charges. When they are available, we obtain copies of the video tape of our client being arrested or booked. These videos allow us to see if the officer followed proper procedures, and they allow juries to see if the defendant appeared to be impaired.
DUI charges often rely upon a breathalyzer or other machine. We will do the research required to determine whether the machine was properly certified, maintained and calibrated; whether it had recently malfunctioned; and whether the arresting officer was properly trained in its use.
Don't Delay
It is important to contact us as soon as possible after a drunk driving arrest. You have just 10 days to administratively challenge the automatic suspension of your driver's license. We will request an administrative driver's license suspension hearing, during which we will be able to conduct discovery and cross-examine witnesses under oath. In addition to possibly getting your license back, this civil process provides valuable information that can help you approach your criminal case. Don't let someone tell you not to consider administratively challenging your license suspension.
It costs you nothing to learn how we can help. Please contact us today to arrange a free consultation.
