Disclaimer: It’s important to remember that each case is unique, and the best approach will depend on the specific circumstances of your case. If you have been charged with DUI, it is strongly recommended that you consult with a criminal defense attorney to discuss your case and develop the best defense strategy. That said, the following are commonly used tactics and strategies we use to fight DUI charges in Monterey County:
Challenging the Validity of Field Sobriety Tests
Field sobriety tests can be unreliable and may be subject to misinterpretation. We may argue that the tests were administered incorrectly or that the results were misinterpreted.
Questioning the Accuracy of Breathalyzer Tests
Breathalyzer tests can produce false positive results for various reasons, such as medical conditions or the use of certain medications. We may challenge the accuracy of the breathalyzer test results by calling into question the calibration and maintenance of the device.
Arguing That the Stop Was Unlawful
If the police officer lacked probable cause to pull over the defendant, any evidence obtained as a result of the stop should be suppressed.
Attacking the Prosecution’s Case
We may point out any inconsistencies or flaws in the prosecution’s case in order to cast doubt on the prosecution’s evidence.
