A driving under the influence charge is one of the most common forms of criminal liability.  Further, these types of charges involve one of the most technically complex areas in criminal law.  When a person finds themselves facing a DUI charge, the worst thing they can do is hire the attorney who will represent them for the lowest fee.  Hiring an experienced attorney with extensive experience in all the details of DUI law can be the difference between a successful defense and a conviction, or worse.  A DUI can be successfully challenged and defeated with experienced legal counsel.  Mere allegations alone are insufficient to support successful prosecution.  Rather, the prosecution must prove an individual was impaired at the time of driving.  A person may be asked to submit to a blood alcohol test or field sobriety test, and answer a variety of questions about their drinking.  Although many people are unaware of their rights at a traffic stop, they have the right to refuse to submit to a chemical test, field sobriety test or to answer most questions.  However, the refusal to submit to chemical tests may lead to the loss of driving privileges for six months or longer depending on prior convictions. 

A vigorous defense can be mounted challenging the opinion of the police officer and the validity of the tests. Independent witnesses who can attest to the amount alcohol the accused drank and officers' testimony can be dissected.  Other inquiries can include: Did the police have reasonable suspicion to conduct their investigatory stop?; Did they have probable cause to effect an arrest?;Were Miranda warnings given?; and Was the blood/breath evidence obtained and analyzed properly?
