Winning Gwinnett County DUI Cases
If you are facing a drunk-driving charge, you need to contact an attorney with a track record of winning Gwinnett County DUI cases. While there are many great lawyers in Gwinnett County, an expert DUI attorney has a greater understanding of the legal and scientific aspects of a drunk-driving case. He or she may be able to refute the prosecution’s field sobriety test and breathalyzer evidence, increasing your chances of winning your DUI case.Many DUI cases weigh heavily on the breathalyzer test results. In Georgia, you may be charged with “per se” intoxication if your blood alcohol content (BAC) is .08% or more—even if your driving is not impaired by alcohol. To determine your BAC, the officer will administer a breathalyzer test. However, testing over the legal limit will not necessarily result in a drunk-driving conviction if you have a skilled lawyer on your side.
Your attorney will review the circumstances of your breathalyzer test to determine if there were any errors that lead to an inaccurate result. Several factors could produce an inflated result, such as a test that is administered incorrectly or a machine that was not maintained or calibrated according to the manufacturer guidelines. Dental work and medical conditions, such as acid reflux, could also affect the breathalyzer test. Your DUI lawyer can explore every avenue to find breathalyzer evidence that is favorable to your defense.
Your case could potentially be thrown out if the officer did not follow the proper protocol during your DUI traffic stop and/or arrest. The officer must have probable cause to pull you over—if this does not exist, any evidence gathered may be inadmissible in court. Without this evidence, the prosecution may be unable to prove their case. If you are arrested without probable cause, the entire arrest—along with your case—could be thrown out.
