Knowledgeable in a Wide Array of DUI Charges
A DUI (Driving Under the Influence) charge can arise from operating a vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08% or higher, or under the influence of drugs. The penalties for a DUI conviction can be severe, including hefty fines, license suspension, mandatory alcohol education programs, and even imprisonment. The specific penalties often depend on factors such as the driver’s BAC level, prior DUI convictions, and if any property damage or injuries occurred.
Comprehensive DUI Defense Strategies
At The Law Office of Corey J. Riddell, I know that every drug charge case is unique. My approach involves a thorough investigation of the circumstances surrounding your arrest, examination of the evidence, and identification of any procedural errors of violations of your rights. I will develop a tailored defense strategy aimed at reducing or dismissing the charges against you.
Challenging BAC Evidence
The prosecution’s case often relies heavily on BAC evidence from breath, blood, or urine tests. I will carefully examine the accuracy and reliability of these tests, looking for any flaws in the testing procedures or equipment calibration. Challenging the validity of BAC evidence can be a crucial aspect of your defense.
Defending Against Field Sobriety Tests
Field sobriety tests are commonly used by law enforcement to establish probable cause for a DUI arrest. These tests are subjective and can be influenced by various factors such as medical conditions, weather, and the testing environment. Our criminal attorney challenges the results of field sobriety tests and questions their reliability as evidence.
Negotiating Reduced Charges and Penalties and Protecting Your Driving Privileges
In some cases, negotiating with the prosecution to reduce charges or penalties may be in your best interest. I am an experienced criminal attorney who is a skilled negotiator who will work to achieve a favorable plea bargain that can minimize the impact of a DUI charge on your life. A DUI conviction can lead to a suspension of your driving privileges. I will fight to protect your right to drive by challenging the suspension and exploring options such as restricted or hardship licenses that allow you to maintain your daily responsibilities.
