How will DUI or OVI affect my insurance? My employment? My ability to drive? Will I go to jail? How long will this stay on my record? These are all racing around your mind and you need answers. We can provide them. We have a combined 50+ years of experience in the law and that experience is valuable in DUI matters. Call us and we can sit down and explore your options and legal defenses!
Possible Defenses:
- The officer didn’t have probable cause to stop you or ask for field sobriety tests.
- Were field sobriety tests given in a manner consistent with policy and procedure and properly explained? Is there video evidence of this?
- The officer failed to instruct or observe you properly prior to the breathalyzer being administered.
- The breathalyzer machine wasn’t working properly or maintained.
- The officer’s training on the breathalyzer was out of date or insufficient.
- Were there medical or other reasons for failing the field tests or breathalyzer?
- Did the officer provide you the ability to consult counsel prior to taking the test?
These and other issues must be explored by competent counsel to determine if the evidence they will use to convict you is admissible and proper. DON’T GO TO COURT ALONE! Let Brooking and Halloran assert and protect your rights. You are innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, but you cannot do this alone. Call us. Hire us. We will protect and guide you.
