     What is an Aggressive DUI Defense?

     

    An aggressive DUI defense leaves no stone unturned.

    DUI cases are complex.  A DUI arrest produces an audio/video recording, numerous police reports, breath tests, copies of advisory forms, and copies of logs, calibration records and officer certification records.  Each of theses documents or recordings are important because they are part of required procedures a police officer must follow in order for evidence from your DUI arrest to be admissible in court.

    A thorough review of these documents can uncover potential legal defense that can lead to a dismissal.  Even if grounds for a dismissal are not found, many times a thorough review can lead to discovery of information that can lead to a reduced charged, often a non-DUI misdemeanor.  It is often incredible the errors and contradictions these documents contain.

    An aggressive DUI defense means a lawyer handles every aspect of your case.

    DUI charges can threaten your job, your marriage, your education and your freedom.  Mounting an aggressive DUI defense requires that an aggressive attorney handle every aspect of your case.  From reviewing the discovery to preparing court filings, a DUI-focused attorney shouldn’t just be “involved,” your attorney should be the center of the action, making certain that you receive the best defense possible.

    An aggressive DUI defense educates your about your case

    A DUI case involves some tough decisions.  The only person who can make those decisions is you.  As part of your defense, you need a defense attorney who will explain the process to you, explain the prosecutor’s strategy and educate you about the strengths and weaknesses of your case.  At the end of your case, you shouldn’t have any questions about what happened to you and why.  You are the decision-maker; your attorney is your guide and advocate.

    An aggressive DUI attorney is a trial attorney

    Do not fear taking your case to a jury.  America’s jury system is designed to put the government’s case to the test.  An aggressive DUI defense prepares for the possibility of jury trial from the beginning of your case.  Preparing for trial from day one is the best way to put the prosecutor on his heels and achieve the best result possible.

     

     

     carry very strict deadlines, especially at the beginning of the case.  If those deadlines are missed, even the best defense in the world could be lost forever. 

    For instance, Idaho drivers face an automatic driver's license suspension if they fail a breath test.  You have only 7 days from the date of your arrest to challenge the suspension.  Plus, in many counties, including Ada, Canyon and Boise counties, an arraignment is scheduled within a week.  Missing a chance to challenge your driver's license suspension or have an attorney prepare for your arraignment may mean missed opportunities that could weaken your legal defense.
