In order to prepare for trial, your Lawrenceville DUI lawyer will review all of the evidence associated with your case to determine if it is accurate. They will look for any errors or discrepancies.
To legally arrest you for DUI, a law officer must have probable cause to believe you committed the crime of drunk driving. The officer’s observations regarding your behavior and appearance as well as your performance on the field sobriety test can help the officer determine if probable cause exists. However, if your Lawrenceville DUI lawyer can prove that no probable cause existed for your arrest, your entire arrest, as well as your pending charges, may be thrown out.
Once arrested for DUI, the officer will ask you to take a breathalyzer test, known as an evidentiary breath test, to determine your blood alcohol content (BAC). Law enforcement agents use the Intoxilyzer 5000 breath machine. To ensure an accurate test result, the officer must administer the test correctly, and the machine must be properly maintained and calibrated. If your lawyer finds that there is an error with your breathalyzer test, he may enter a motion to have the results suppressed, which will help your case.
If convicted in Lawrenceville, you could be sentenced to incarceration, driver’s license suspension, court costs, fines, community service and probation. The court can also order alcohol education classes, regular substance abuse assessments, and even substance abuse treatments.
