A solid defense strategy comes after lengthy, honest and detailed conversations between you and your lawyer. As the saying goes, there are many sides to a story, and when it comes to developing a defense strategy the same holds true. You and your DUI lawyer will come to a form of the truth that increases the chances of a favorable outcome. The outcome possibilities include a not guilty verdict, a guilty verdict to a crime less serious or a plea bargain. Before finalizing your defense your DUI lawyer will speak with the prosecuting lawyers and learn about the case being built against you.
Drunk Driving Defenses
An effective and competent DUI lawyer will first question the police officer’s account of the DUI and the functioning quality of the sobriety tests the officer administered. Another avenue for your DUI lawyer to pursue is to locate a neutral third party who can confirm that you were sober rather than intoxicated. The next step your DUI lawyer will take is to select from many possible drunk driving defenses and they include:
• Driving while impaired in order to avoid serious harm or danger
• Forced to drive while impaired so as to prevent injury or death
• Entrapment by a police officer
• Innocent mistake of the facts
• Achieving a level of intoxication unbeknownst to the defendant
Each state views these drunk driving defenses differently. Your experienced DUI lawyer will share with you your respective state’s opinion on these defenses.
