If you are charged for drunk driving in Easton, it is important that you talk with a defense lawyer as quickly as possible so that you can get the legal advice that your need and the representation that will help to protect your rights in and out of the courtroom. Even if you think that the Easton police have a case against you because you “failed” a field sobriety test or a breathalyzer, your drunk driving attorney may still be able to help you. However, you will never know if you do not contact a lawyer to find out.
One of the ways that prosecutors are able to get convictions on drunk driving cases is that those who have been accused think that their case is hopeless once law enforcement indicates a “failed” test. However, the arresting officer is cannot possibly have known whether or not you failed a blood test, since that has to be sent to a lab. And, even if the officer believed that you failed the breathalyzer test, there have been innumerable instances across the nation where breathalyzer mechanisms have been shown to be defective and the results inadmissible in court.
Even a case that might appear “open–and-shut” should be reviewed by a drunk driving in Easton attorney. Any example of such a case occurred in a nearby community recently when the police force did not have to travel very far to make a drunk driving arrest. When an officer spotted a car driving in the back parking lot of the police station that is reserved for the department’s cruisers, he initially thought it was a colleague arriving for the night shift. However, as the car continued to move aimlessly about the parking lot, the police officer stopped the driver who was eventually arrested and charged with drunk driving and for trespassing after allegedly failing a field sobriety test. It was not known if the driver had retained an attorney.
Whatever the circumstances of your drunk driving arrest, which hopefully did not include erratic driving in the parking lot of a police station, your situation is probably not so hopeless as you might imagine. Whether your attorney can challenge the evidence in your case or question why the police stopped you in the first place will depend upon the evaluation of your case which can only happen once you’ve arranged for a consultation with your drunk driving attorney.
