Unfair DUI: What Attorneys Can Do to Help

If you have just been arrested for an unfair DUI (Driving Under the Influence), you need an experienced DUI attorney protecting your rights. Your highly-trained DWI (Driving While Intoxicated) lawyer will make sure that you receive the best possible criminal defense. Your specialized DWI attorney will help you decide if you should question police and/or witness testimony, challenge breathalyzer results or plead to a lesser charge. Do not attempt to do this on your own; DWI is a very serious charge with very serious and long-reaching effects.

At the Scene

When you speak to your DUI lawyer following an arrest for drunk driving, he will ask you certain questions to make sure that your rights were not violated at the time of your arrest, resulting in an unfair DUI.

During the DWI Arrest, He will ask you about:
• Your arrest – the 4th Amendment to the Constitution protects you from unreasonable search and seizure; being arrested without probable cause
• Questioning– the law states that you must be read your ‘Miranda Rights’, which provides for your basic rights. If you were not ‘Mirandized’, evidence from your arrest may not be admissible during your trial
• Law enforcement testimony – the arresting officer may have administered field sobriety tests incorrectly or may have given improper testimony
• Breathalyzer, blood alcohol or urinalysis testing – equipment failure, incompetent technicians and other outside influences often result in false positives on these vital tests

In the Courtroom

Your DUI lawyer is very familiar with the following procedures and will assist you in seeing that they are carried out properly and with your best interest at stake.

He will oversee:
• Filing of all motions
• Technical and procedural rules
• Proper technique for the questioning of witnesses, including the arresting officer, site witnesses and scientific experts
• Proper evidence presentation
• Principles of legal objections

Your personal DWI attorney will know how to question any witnesses and how to rebut any field and chemical tests that you may have undergone. He will know the best ways to take you through any pretrial, trial and sentencing proceedings that may help reduce or even eliminate your DUI arrest charges.
