Why You Need a Troy DUI Lawyer

DUI Attorneys Serving Troy and Oakland County, Michigan

Why do you need a Troy DUI Lawyer? If you have been arrested for any type of criminal offense related to drunk driving - under 21 DUI, multiple DUI offenses, felony DUI, DUI accident, etc. - you are at risk of facing two separate processes: a criminal court case and a DMV hearing. These two run simultaneously but are entirely separate from one another.

In your criminal court case, you will be at risk of facing a conviction that may result in imprisonment, fines and court fees, probation, community service, and similar penalties. You may be in danger of having a criminal record that will limit your financial and educational opportunities in the future. In regard to your DMV hearing, you will be facing the potential suspension of your driver's license. An experienced Troy DUI Attorney can help you in both branches of the Michigan DUI process to protect your freedom and your license.

Defenses for Troy, Michigan DUI Charges

There are a number of DUI defense strategies that may prove viable in your case. Even if you feel that nothing can be done to avoid a conviction or the necessity of agreeing to a plea bargain, a thorough investigation by a skilled Troy DUI Lawyer may reveal a serious mistake or Constitutional rights violation by law enforcement, and this can turn the tide. For example:

• Were you the victim of an unlawful arrest or initial police stop?
• Was an illegal search and seizure performed by law enforcement?
• Was your breath test administered properly?
• Was the breath test advice properly calibrated?
• If you submitted to a blood test, was this performed by a qualified professional? Was the blood sample mixed properly, or was it mishandled in some way?
• Were field sobriety tests performed correctly?
• Does the arresting officer's testimony add up to the evidence? Can it be brought into question?
