Possible Defense Strategies for OUI Charges
How we defend against your OUI Charges
There are myriad ways to defend your OUI charges that can lead to lesser charges or dismissal. We pursue all avenues to aggressively defend you against drunk driving charges. The following are just a few of the ways we can work at having your charges dropped:
- Breathalyzer test results may be inadmissible at trial without expert testimony showing the relationship between the test results and intoxication or impairment of the driver;
- Refusing to take the breathalyzer test cannot be brought up by the District Attorney at trial in any way;
- We use scientific experts to challenge breathalyzer test results;
- We determine whether documentation showing that breathalyzer machines were properly maintained exists;
- We determine whether the breathalyzer was used properly, findings recorded accurately and the officer involved trained in its operation;
- We thoroughly question why the police stopped your car, was there probable cause;
- We thoroughly question how well you performed on the field sobriety tests;
- Did the officer complete the 15-minute observation period prior to the breath test;
- If stopped at a sobriety checkpoint, did law enforcement adhere to a strict set of guidelines when you were pulled over? Failure to follow the procedures will cause any evidence following a stop to be inadmissible.
- The District Attorney's Office must prove in court that you were driving the vehicle, it was being driven on a public roadway and you were driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
