Challenging the Traffic Stop
I scrutinize the circumstances of your traffic stop. Law enforcement must have a valid reason to pull you over. If there was no probable cause, I file a motion to suppress any evidence obtained during the stop.
Questioning Field Sobriety Tests
Field sobriety tests can be subjective and prone to error. I examine how these tests were conducted and challenge their validity. Factors like weather conditions, your physical condition, and improper instructions can all impact test results.
Examining Officer Conduct
I look into the conduct of the arresting officer. Misconduct or failure to follow protocol can significantly weaken the prosecution’s case.
Utilizing Expert Witnesses
If it would benefit your case, I bring in expert witnesses to testify on your behalf. These experts can challenge the prosecution’s evidence and provide alternative explanations for the alleged impairment.
