North Shore DUI Defense Attorney

Defending DUI

It is imperative to have legal representation from a North Shore DUI Defense Attorney if you have been arrested and charged with this offense on the North Shore.  There are several compelling DUI defenses that could be employed in your case, depending on the exact circumstances of the arrest.  If you have an earlier DUI conviction on your record, it is even more critical to have aggressive legal representation.  If an accident or injury is part of the case, it may be necessary to conduct an independent investigation of the accident in order to defend you.  The experience and knowledge of all aspects of DUI cases is a strong advantage for clients facing DUI charges, and in many cases the charges have been dismissed due to the actions of the defense attorney.  Some of the types of DUI defenses that could be employed in your case include:

Violations of Arrest Procedure

Law enforcement is required to follow an exact procedure when stopping, arresting and charging any individual for a DUI or OUI charge on the North Shore, as elsewhere in the state.  If these procedures are violated, the evidence may become inadmissible in court.  It is crucial that you have legal representation that will thoroughly review and evaluate everything that happened in the incident to determine whether violations of police procedure occurred.

Incorrect Testing Procedure

If you were arrested and charged with a DUI offense, you probably had a breathalyzer and field sobriety tests  administered to you.  These tests are frequently administered incorrectly, and even when they are administered correctly the results can be open to question.  This is due to the margin of error in tests that are evaluated subjectively in the case of field sobriety tests.  With breathalyzer tests, they are known to have a 15% margin of error in 23% of the cases.  It is crucial that you have an attorney who has the science and background data on all of these tests in order to aggressively defend you in court.

No Probable Cause

It is the law that a police officer must have "probable cause" to pull you over under suspicion of DUI (OUI).  You must be driving in such a way that would make the officer consider that you may be operating the vehicle while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.  In some cases, this rule has been seriously violated, and individuals have been pulled over with no probable cause.  If this should happen, the evidence against you cannot be used in court, as it was an unlawful stop.  This is a defense that may be possible to employ on your behalf by a North Shore DUI Defense Attorney.

These are only a few of the possible defenses that could be possible in your DUI case.  When you are represented by an experienced and aggressive DUI Defense Attorney, the possibilities for your defense are available and could be employed to help you beat your DUI charge.  Take advantage of the skill of this legal team and do not plead guilty without first discussing your case with a North Shore DUI Defense Attorney.
