Defending DUI Charges

When a person is stopped for DUI and field sobriety tests and breath & blood tests show that he/she has been driving while intoxicated or under the influence of drugs, a guilty verdict in the case can seem inevitable. Test results however, can be inaccurate if the proper testing procedures weren’t followed, if the equipment was faulty, if there was contamination of samples, if the testing kit was out-of-date or if the test was conducted by an unqualified individual. An experienced DUI defense attorney can identify these and other deficiencies in a case, including unlawful police procedures, such as an illegal stop or an illegal search. Any weaknesses identified in the prosecution’s case can be used as leverage in negotiating a reduction of charges, or even a dismissal in some cases.

The Law Offices of Trent R. Buckallew, P.C. has successfully represented many clients charged with DUI offenses, including underage DUI, minor in consumption, super extreme DUI, DUI with injury, extreme DUI, aggravated DUI, DUI & drugs, first time DUI and leaving the scene of a DUI accident. They also provide representation at MVD hearings, where an administrative law judge will determine whether or not your license should be suspended. This is a separate administrative hearing that has no bearing on your criminal case, but could lead to the loss of your driving privileges.
