DUI or DWI Defense Options

A driver charged with a DUI or DWI / drunk driving has different options when it comes to defending themselves in court. Some defenses exist in certain circumstances, even when there’s evidence to support the DUI or DWI.

Duress - When a person drives in order to avoid serious injury or death, he or she is doing so under duress.

Mistake of Fact - When a person has a belief that he or she is not intoxicated. For example, believe that the impairing effect of one's prescription medication has worn off.

Improper Stop - This is a common arguments used by defense attorneys in drunk driving cases, it involves the claim that the officer lacked probable cause to make the initial traffic stop.

Blood Alcohol Concentration Risen - You may claim your BAC was below the legal limit while you were driving but actually increased between the time of the traffic stop and the administration of the breath test. This is possible when alcohol recently consumed has not yet fully absorbed into the system before the BAC test.

Portable Breathalyzer Test Accuracy - The attorney may challenge the administration of the breathalyzer test used at the scene. Was the officer properly trained? Were there intervening factors such as vomiting or indigestion? You may also question whether the breath test device was properly calibrated and maintained.

Chain of Custody of Test - You may raise questions about the administration of a blood test and whether it was tampered with or otherwise mishandled in the chain of custody.

Field Sobriety Test - An arrest may be ruled improper if it was based on an improperly administered field sobriety test or inaccurate results. The horizontal gaze nystagmus (HGN) test, which detects eye movements often associated with intoxication.

Involuntary Intoxication - When a person has ingested alcohol without their knowledge. For example, if the punchbowl at a party was had alcohol in it.

Improper Police conduct - This defense may include evidence and/or testimony that the officer violated the defendant's civil rights or otherwise acted improperly. We Can Help Argue Your Defense to a Drunk Driving Charge If you need any help for any of these defenses give us a call ASAP……..

And the consequences of even a first DUI are serious. Below you’ll find information about first-offense DUIs, including the costs and state-specific penalties. In New Jersey, you can be convicted of driving while intoxicated (DWI)—lots of people use the terms DWI and DUI interchangeably if you operate a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08% or more.

A BAC reading can be obtained from a breathalyzer test or a blood sample. You can also be convicted of DWI for operating a motor vehicle while actually under the influence of alcohol, a narcotic, a hallucinogenic, or a habit-producing drug or for allowing someone else to operate your vehicle who is under the influence of alcohol or one of these substances.



	Driving Under the Influence (DUI) or Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) can be the biggest mistake you ever made. The penalties are mind-boggling: license suspension, jail time, fines (hefty at best), felony charges, and in cases with a personal injury, a DUI/DWI charge can open you up to a serious civil lawsuit. Luckily for us social folks, the law provides a window between stone-sober and “legally drunk” (which can feel like barely a buzz to some). Obviously, it’s always best to err on the side of sober. However, if you’re out with colleagues or friends and find it’s time to go home, here's a handy drink guide. While DUI/DWI intoxication levels vary from state to state, the California DUI Drink Chart represents the standard numbers in most states. If you’ve been arrested or charged with DUI or DWI then you should consult a local criminal lawyer immediately. Many criminal lawyers specialize in DUI/DWI cases and may be able to show that the case should be thrown out because of an illegal stop or even negotiate a plea bargain. Don’t let one mistake affect the rest of your life. Jobs and home loans are much more difficult to obtain with a Dui arrest.
