How a Lawyer Can Help
A lawyer can help you fight your DUI charges in a number of ways. This includes an initial assessment of a case to determine its strengths and weaknesses, as well as an analysis of the situation from the prosecution’s point of view in order to discover any weaknesses that can be exposed. A lawyer can work with experts in blood and breath testing, can conduct an individual analysis of a blood sample, can challenge the validity of chemical testing and field sobriety testing, and can also investigate and challenge the circumstances of the initial police stop and the arrest.
By uncovering new information, evidence or witness testimony on the defendant’s behalf and carefully examining the prosecution’s case, a defense lawyer can work to avoid a DUI conviction and therefore the numerous negative consequences that come with it.
