Every case is unique, and this is true even between DUI cases. I give every case I handle the attention to detail it needs with the goal of having the client’s charge lowered or dropped entirely. When I defend a client against a DUI charge, I explore every possible option for proving that he or she did not actually drive while impaired by alcohol. Sometimes, it is unrealistic to expect to have a DUI dropped and when this is the case, I do my best to negotiate the charge down to reduce the client’s sentence. In both criminal and administrative DUI proceedings, I look for answers to the following questions:

• Did the arresting officer have probable cause to pull the client over?
• Was my client lawfully arrested? and
• Is there actually valid proof that his or her BAC was 0.08 percent or higher while he or she was driving? Breathalyzer results can be inaccurate, and when time elapses between when a driver had control of a vehicle and when he or she provided a sample, his or her BAC can rise as the alcohol is absorbed into his or her bloodstream.
