Get Your Charges Dismissed by Hiring a Reliable DUI Attorney

Every accused person has the right of being innocent until proven guilty. During this period, it is the attorney's job to prove your innocence and that the DUI charge should have never been made.

 

Lines of defense

Your first line of defense is arguing how you got the charge in the first place: the law officer's report. This report has the officer's observations about the suspect and how he/she was manning the vehicle. Specific details such as inconsistent speeds, weaving from side to side, running a red light, stopping at a green light, and crossing into the highwway's center lane are included. Although these are actions that could come from a drunk person, it can also come from a sick driver or a driver coming a night shift. The lawyer relies on causes other than DUI.

After the officer observes your physical appearance and car, a field sobriety test is given to gauge your drunk state. You are made to walk backwards, on a straight line, or recite the alphabets backwards or forwards. Since these tests have highly subjective interpretations, they're a good defense basis for your case. Your attorney can mention a bone problem that causes you imbalance or the negative results coming from your fatigue at work.

Aside from your possible non-sober traits, the officer will report your behaviour as you interact with one another. The indicators for DUI in terms of appearance are bloodshot eyes, incoherent speech, slurred speech, pupil enlargement, and inappropriate statements. The arguments used in response to this are similar to the previous, with your lawyer stating that your behavior was influenced by stress and feeling sick from recent work activities.

Using these arguments, along with a commendable driving history and weak evidence from the prosecuting side can get you a dismissal for a DUI charge. As long as your lawyer relies on evidence that leads to you not being under the influence, then there will be no regrets in hiring a reliable attorney.
