RBX Law provides outstanding DUI defense. Our defense is customized based on the goals of our clients. We regularly use the following defense strategies in our cases.
DUI Defense Strategies
Error in Police Procedures
Law enforcement must have probable cause to believe a person is driving under the influence before conducting an arrest. In addition, they must follow specific procedures for seizing a driver’s license, administering breathalyzer and blood tests, and maintaining and calibrating devices.
Under the Legal Limit
When law enforcement properly conducts a breathlyzer or blood test within three hours of driving, the law presumes that the test accurately measured the driver’s blood alcohol content. In that case, the defendant must prove that their blood alcohol content was actually under the legal limit.
Under the Influence
There is no bright line for what it means to be “under the influence.” Instead, the test is whether the defendant failed to operate their vehicle with the care of a sober person. The test looks at all relevant facts, including whether the driver admitted to being under the influence, the pattern of driving, and the results of field sobriety tests.
Less Common DUI Defense Strategies
If you were not the driver, had no choice but to drive while intoxicated to protect your safety, or were drugged without your consent, you have a defense to driving under the influence.
