Fort Lauderdale DUI
Posted on: September 5, 2009 by: adminThe state will attempt to demonstrate your impairment while driving in a couple of ways. It may try to demonstrate your impairment and inability to drive safely. Or it may demonstrate a blood or breath alcohol reading of a level of .08 or greater. Blood tests, field sobriety tests, and breath tests are all used during prosecution as evidence against you. It is very important to have a lawyer who understands how the state law enforcement builds its case. If convicted of drunk driving, you will face a number of significant penalties. Sometimes, hiring the wrong DUI lawyer Fort Lauderdale may be no better than not hiring a lawyer at all.
Attorneys who understand the issues raised by DUI/DWI charges regarding state evidence know why these mechanisms are not reliable. We specialize in investigating breath machines and field conduct which can help you fight the State’s charges against you. We take care of your rights during a traffic stop. If law enforcement officers made errors in any of the procedural or legal portions of stopping you, investigating you, or the arrest and booking aspect, your DUI case can be thrown out of court.
If the Fort Lauderdale DUI lawyer is good, he will confront you with questions.
If you come to our firm after a DUI /DWI charge, we will grasp the important issues and we will start defending you quickly. When asked to blow into a breathalyzer or to provide a sample of blood or urine, did you refuse to comply?
* Were you a part of a car wreck that caused you to be charged?
* Are you suffering from any knee, ankle, back, orthopedic or any other physical injury?
Do you suffer from an ailment such as vertigo or diabetes?
Were you being monitored for the entirety of 20 minutes prior to being administered the breathalyzer test?
On the day that you were arrested, were there any medications taken?
* Were you informed of your rights by the cop?
* Did the police officer require you to do the DUI/roadside exercises?
* Were there headlights or flashing lights while the officer investigated the DUI or had you do the roadside exercises?
* When giving a breath test, where you told to “keep blowing” for a prolonged period of time?
* Were you parked in your car sleeping/resting when the police officer approached you?
* Do you believe the officer mistook exhaustion or nervousness for impairment?
* Were you on private property when you were stopped and/or arrested?
* Were you stopped for “weaving” or “failing to maintain a single lane” without there being any other cars on the roadway near you?
* Were you told that your license would be automatically suspended if you refused a breath, blood or urine test?
