Dui Defenses

The consequences of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs can be devastating for everyone associated with the offense. As a result, the penalties for a DUI have been elevated in recent years and even made mandatory in some states. That leaves a judge little leeway in sentencing. But there are a number of DUI defenses that can be very effective in the hands of an experienced DUI attorney. The most obvious explains that the officer or the tests used were inaccurate or didn't present a thorough picture of the conditions. One or more witnesses who can testify that you were sober is also a powerful defense. There may also have been extenuating circumstances that made driving unavoidable. Each situation is unique, and none provide automatic DUI defenses. Your DUI lawyer can help you decide if one of them describes your situation.

Fast Facts

  • If someone is given alcohol without their knowledge, they were probably unknowingly driving under the influence which makes the DUI charge the fault of another person.
  • A judge may acknowledge and dismiss a DUI charge if someone is driving under the influence because of an emergency that no one else can handle or help with.
