A conviction for driving under the influence (DUI), also known as driving while intoxicated (DWI), can impact your life in surprising ways. Yes, you may spend time in jail and be fined, but those may not even be the most challenging consequences. Your driver’s license will be suspended. If you drive for work, you may find yourself without a job. Even if you do not, you will find it difficult to get to and from work, and to do everything else that you currently rely on driving to accomplish. Additionally, there are unseen expenses, such as increased insurance rates. All of these consequences are best avoided. With more than a decade of experience, we know what DUI defense strategies to employ to help you avoid the consequences of a conviction. Get in touch with a Knoxville DUI defense lawyer at the Law Office of John M. Boucher, Jr.., today. Drunk Driving Defense Strategies DUI cases are unique in that there is almost always audio or video of the arrest, thanks to the dash cameras in police vehicles. That will be our first stop in the investigation process. We will review the traffic stop and the arrest to make certain the police officer did not violate your constitutional rights and that all tests were administered correctly. For example, we will review to see if the police officer accurately explained the field sobriety tests before you performed them. Even if the tests were explained correctly, we will investigate the site of the tests to determine whether environmental factors may have interfered. If the tests were conducted on uneven ground or in a dark, windy or rainy setting, the results may not be valid. Beyond the audio or video evidence, we may need to conduct a technical review of the blood or breath test process. Were the machines calibrated? If blood was drawn, was it handled and stored properly? Was the chain of custody correct? We know where to look to find flaws in the DUI case against you and use them to better the outcome of your case.
