If you were recently charged with drinking and driving, you may have concerns about what the future will hold. You may also worry about what kind of penalties you will face if you are convicted for DWI.
As your DWI lawyer, we are here to defend you against the charges you face following your arrest. Here are some of the most common defenses we use as a DWI lawyer:
- Improper stop — If law enforcement did not have reasonable suspicion to stop your vehicle, evidence obtained during the stop may not be able to be used against you in a court of law.
- Faulty breath test — Breathalyzer devices must be calibrated and maintained properly. If they were not, or if the officer did not follow protocol, your results may be challenged.
- Medical conditions — Certain medical conditions can affect breath test results or field sobriety tests. For example, acid reflux can lead to false positives on breath tests.
- Field sobriety test errors — Officers may administer field sobriety tests incorrectly or fail to consider factors such as weather, road conditions, or physical limitations.
- Rising blood alcohol content — If you consumed alcohol shortly before driving, your blood alcohol level may have been below the legal limit while driving but increased afterward.
