Successful DWI Defense Strategies
Despite what you may have heard, success is possible in DWI cases. In your case, I will closely examine all aspects of your stop and arrest. I will work hard to try to find the basis for a successful defense of the charge.
Major areas of my review will include:
Probable cause — did the police have a valid reason to stop you and continue the investigation?
Field sobriety tests — were these conducted properly? Do they support the officer's decision to arrest you?
Blood alcohol tests — were these conducted properly? Was the machine calibrated correctly? Were there biological reasons that can explain the test results?
These and many other factors may enable my office to obtain a dismissal, not guilty verdict or reduction in the charge to one with lower penalties.
Minimizing the Consequences
I will work energetically to obtain the best outcome possible. In many cases, I have been successful in obtaining plea agreements which reduce DWI charges to a more favorable disposition, such as reducing the charge to a DWAI charge. I will also seek an outcome which protects your ability to drive for certain purposes, (a hardship or conditional license).
My office, Laurin R. Haddad, Esq., has a wide range of experience in criminal defense cases, ranging from simple misdemeanors to serious felony crimes. I will use my experience and knowledge of the law to defend your constitutional rights, seek to preserve your freedom and obtain the best outcome possible.
