Keys to a successful DWI/DUI defense after your drunk driving arrest may include the following:
- Challenge to the traffic stop: Did law enforcement have probable cause to stop you and evaluate you for intoxication?
- Challenge to the Breathalyzer results: Was the machine that was used to test your breath properly maintained and calibrated?
- Challenge to the appropriateness of field sobriety tests: Was intoxication the only reasonable explanation for your inability to walk a straight line in the dark with a flashlight shining in your eyes?
Our drunk driving defense lawyers are prepared to take steps necessary to protect your rights through all phases and aspects of your DUI case, including the administrative hearing related to your driving privileges and the criminal aspect of your DWI charges. Under Connecticut law, your driver’s license can be suspended if you refuse to take a breath test. Our lawyers can represent you in administration hearings related to a refusal.
