Ways to Beat a DWI?
1 Reasonable Suspicion
Did the officer have a valid justification for stopping you?
2Collection of Evidence
Did the officer made a mistake while collecting evidence (BAC or Field-Sobriety Tests)?
3Wrongful Arrest
Did the officer have enough evidence to form Probable Cause to arrest you? Assumptions can be wrong.
4Miranda / Knoll
Were your rights violated at any time during or even aftter the arrest?
5Beyond Reasonable Doubt
Was this extremely high legal standard met, in every element of DWI?
Why should I hire a lawyer if I blow 0.08 or higher?
The DA's Office needs more than just a 0.08 or above to get a conviction. In fact, a good portion of our victories in court have nothing to do with the level of intoxication.
