Swift, Thorough and Responsive DUI Defense
Before a trial is ever held, a DUI can be challenged on many kinds of constitutional, legal or administrative grounds, resulting in key prosecutorial evidence being thrown out by the state. We can aggressively challenge the stop, the field sobriety test, the Breathalyzer or blood alcohol measurement test findings and any statements you may have made to authorities.
The State needs all of its evidence to seem credible, to prevent a dismissal due to lack of evidence and to put the best face forward to a jury with an ironclad case. If we are able to challenge even one facet of the state's case that results in evidence being suppressed, the state may be compelled to negotiate a deal, reduce to a lesser charge or even halt all proceedings against you.
In DUI defense, winning one battle can result in winning the war. We have won many battles in our time at the Arnold Law Firm. Let us put that successful experience to work for you.
We Challenge Field Sobriety Tests
Our attorneys cast doubt as to the arresting officer's qualifications to administer the test, whether he or she truly knew what your true balance and coordination was and whether you had any physical disabilities that might have affected your ability to perform the test. You deserve to be absolutely sure that the test was reliable and admissible.
We Challenge Breathalyzers
Failure to properly maintain Breathalyzer machines or to conduct tests according to standard testing procedures can result in your test being thrown out, regardless of its findings.
We also question police observations, instructions, Breathalyzer operation and notifications of statutes such as Florida's implied consent law. Oversights on any of these aspects of your DUI arrest can shed doubt on the entire process and have your results thrown out.
We Challenge Statements
It is important to watch what you say to an arresting officer, especially if you have been drinking. However, even if you do say something incriminating, we may still be able to suppress those statements. Generally, statements are challenged for either being obtained without informing a suspect of the right to remain silent or because they were made under Florida's accident report privilege.
