Challenging DUI Evidence

Ways to Challenge DUI Cases

Following a DWI / DUI arrest, many people make the mistake of assuming that because their blood test or breathalyzer result put them over the legal limit, they have no hope of "beating the charges" against them. As a result, they often let too much time pass before hiring an attorney to help them or they simply do not fight and instead accept whatever plea the prosecutor is willing to offer.

Washington, D.C., DUI Defense Lawyers

Since 1975, The Robinson & Kourtesis Law Firm has been helping people in the D.C. metro area, Maryland, and northern Virginia avoid the harsh consequences that DWI / DUI convictions can have on their lives. We have helped hundreds of people in this way. Our knowledge and understanding of Constitutional rights, proper police procedures, and the science of DUI can be invaluable in helping to achieve the best possible outcome in your case as well.

Ways to successfully challenge DUI cases include:

• Probable cause issues — Did the police have sufficient reason to stop you? Were you "profiled?" What led the officer to believe you had been drinking?
• Procedural issues — Were you read your rights? Did the officers conduct your breath test or field sobriety test correctly? Had the breathalyzer been properly maintained and calibrated? Are there discrepancies present in the police reports?
• Scientific facts — Was testing done during the absorption phase? What is the scientific reliability of field sobriety testing? What other factors were there that could have skewed the test results?
