Choosing to imbibe alcohol, then get behind the wheel of a motor vehicle is usually not a good decision. Depending on one’s blood alcohol content, it could also be against the law. Drunk driving continues to be problematic in New York and other states.
Regardless of the events leading up to a drunk driving arrest, a person accused is entitled to present a strong defense in court. Chances of obtaining a positive income are typically increased when one acts alongside experienced legal representation. One of the first things a criminal defense attorney can do is investigate the process of an arrest to determine whether any personal rights of the defendant were violated.
Law enforcement agents are bound to adhere to strict protocol and regulations governing search and seizure, as well as the booking process. If an attorney determines that an officer did something outside the scope of his authority, a portion or all of the state’s proffered evidence against a client can be challenged in court. This may lead to a reduction or dismissal of charges.
