Boston DUI Defense Attorney
Defending DUI
When facing DUI charges in Boston, you are in serious trouble without the assistance of one of our DUI Defense Attorneys. There are many types of DUI defenses that could be initiated on your behalf, depending on the circumstances of the arrest, whether you have an earlier DUI conviction on your record, and other factors including whether an accident or an injury occurred. The defense of your DUI charges varies according to these and other factors. There are several types of DUI defenses that are often possible, and result in the dismissal of charges in a large number of cases. Some of the types of DUI defenses include:
Violations of Arrest Procedure
The procedures that are required in any DUI arrest are specific and if not followed to the letter can result in a court challenge. These court challenges can result in the evidence against you being suppressed. No evidence = no conviction. This is one of the first aspects of the case that will be thoroughly looked into by your Boston DUI Defense Attorney.
Incorrect Testing Procedure
Both breathalyzer and field sobriety tests can be open to dispute, as their accuracy is known to have a fairly large margin of error. Field sobriety testing is based on the observation of the officer administering the test, and as this is human observation it is extremely varied. There are many factors other than being intoxicated that can cause an individual to stagger, have balance problems or be poor at following orders. Fear can be one factor, medical conditions, age, language problems and other factors can affect field sobriety testing results. Proving such conditions can result in the evidence from the sobriety testing to be disallowed in your case.
No Probable Cause
Law enforcement must have probable cause to pull you over under suspicion of DUI (or OUI). This is frequently violated, and if it can be proven that there actually was no probably cause for the "stop" you may be in the position of having the evidence you thrown out of court. No evidence = no conviction. In many cases, this results in "case dismissed".
There are many other possible DUI defenses that may be employed by a skilled Boston DUI Defense Attorney. It is crucial that you have legal representation if facing a DUI charge, and the experienced DUI Defense Lawyer in your area will aggressively fight for your defense, and be by your side from the moment of your arrest. If you have been pulled over for a Boston OUI on the Mass. Pike, Route 93, Storrow Drive, Mass Avenue, or near Kenmore Square, Fenway, or the waterfront, you know how frightening it is when you get pulled over and asked questions or to submit to field sobriety tests. Don't face this situation without an aggressive attorney fighting every step of the way.
