Another thing we do not recommend? Fighting this charge without the help of an experienced DWI defense attorney.
An attorney from our firm can take a look at your unique situation and help you figure out the best possible defense. There are a variety of ways to defend yourself from a DWI charge, but which strategy has the best chances of working can vary based on the particular circumstances of your case.
There are many ways to defend yourself from DWI charges. Your lawyer can talk about:
The stop: If the police did not have probable cause to pull you over, any sobriety test results could be thrown out.
The breathalyzer: A breathalyzer can be unreliable or encounter errors. Maybe it is poorly calculated. Perhaps it picked up alcohol remaining in your mouth, resulting in a higher, inaccurate BAC reading. Any issue with the breathalyzer can throw your DWI into question.
The field test: Sobriety field tests are supposed to be conducted in a certain way in certain conditions. If you encountered issues because of uneven terrain or poor lighting, we can argue that the conditions were the problem.
Your medical conditions: If you have acid reflux, you might blow a higher BAC that does not represent your level of impairment. An injury or neurological condition could make it harder to stay coordinated during the field sobriety test. Your lawyer can point to any medical conditions as a logical explanation for why you seemed impaired when you were actually perfectly fine to drive.
The blood test: The conditions need to be just right when your blood is tested for alcohol content. A blood sample can sit in a lab for days, and if it is improperly stored or handled the results of any DWI blood test can be nearly useless.
