Generally, I have found that drivers too often underestimate the damage a DUI or DWI can have on both their personal and professional lives. For example, most people do not realize that a DUI usually cannot be expunged from their criminal record. Oh... yes, drunk driving convictions are crimes --- not just traffic offenses !
These are criminal offenses can also be complex to navigate through both the administrative and judicial systems. If you intend to defense yourself (pro se) in these cases, you do so at your own peril. You will need a good, experienced DUI defense attorney to help you --- even with your first DUI or DWI ( preferably, you will not have more than one such experience). In any event, the point is this : As a defendant, TAKE THESE CASES SERIOUSLY. At my law firm, we certainly do.
Despite law enforcement efforts to create the image that drunk driving enforcement is a form of "science", it certainly is not from a defense perspective : Field sobriety tests (FSTs) are extremely subjective and inaccurate, and breath tests (breathalyzer tests) are equally unscientific and unreliable.
Good DUI defense attorneys know these facts.
There are several common drunk driving defenses, but just a few are as follows: (1) the police "stop" was improper (for any number of good reasons); (2) the arrest was improper because of the inaccuracy of the field sobriety tests (FSTs); (3) the arrest was improper due to the inaccuracy of the portable breathalyzer tests; (4) the arrest was inaccurate improper because of the inaccuracy of the standard breathalyzer tests; (5) the arrest was improper due to the improper chain of custody of the blood test, or because of the inadequate administration of the blood test; (6) the rising blood alcohol concentration (BAC) system and defense was in effect; (7) the accused was not the driver; (8) there were other improper police actions occurring; etc.
Additionally, there are numerous affirmative defenses to DUI and DWI charges, including : (1) necessity; (2) duress; (3) entrapment; (4) mistake of fact; (5) involuntary intoxication; etc.
