Dedham Drunk Driving Lawyers
- Phillip Arnell:
An experienced criminal defense attorney in Massachusetts can do many things to challenge and disprove the evidence against the accused. We routinely find defects associated with the traffic stop, field sobriety tests and chemical tests, whether breath or blood, that often results in a dismissal of some or all of the charges. Depending on the circumstances of a case we may: - Review the calibration and maintenance records of the machine. It is falsely believed that these machines are infallible. People forget that these machines are made of up of metal, plastic and silicon. To believe that they always work every time is like believing that your car will neverbreak down. Machines do not always work properly.
- File pretrial motions to suppress the evidence. These motions, when argued successfully, may result in the DUI -DWI-OUI case being dismissed.
- Retest the blood by a private lab.
- Hire an analyst to determine if the driver's blood alcohol concentration (BAC) was rising. This defense may prove that the driver's blood was actually less than the Massachusetts .08 % limit at the time of driving.
- Photograph the scene of the arrest. This may be helpful in showing that the ground was not level or appropriately lined when the driver was performing the field coordination tests.
- Effectively cross-examine the police officer to expose mistakes and inaccuracies in the gathering of evidence.
