Have you been charged with driving under the influence, and you can’t see a way out? There’s almost always a way to improve your situation, with the right help. Working with a DUI lawyer can give you a better chance at a positive case outcome.
How does a lawyer help you with your drunk driving case? A DUI attorney is able to examine your case to find the right angle and build the best defense possible. Many people don’t think there are any defenses against drunk driving charges, but that’s not true.
DUI Defenses That Could Help You Avoid a Conviction
Here are some of the DUI defenses available. One of them might be right for you.
You weren’t drinking and driving at all, and you’ve been falsely accused.
You were stopped illegally.
The field sobriety tests were inaccurate, or the breathalyzer test was incorrect.
You were in your vehicle, but you weren’t driving and had no intention of driving.
The police made errors during the investigation or during your arrest and violated your rights.
The laboratory made mistakes.
There’s not enough evidence against you.
Not every person charged with a DUI will avoid conviction, but you certainly won’t avoid conviction if you plead guilty. Even if the police and prosecutor have a solid case against you, an attorney can likely work out a much better plea agreement than you could get yourself.
