Can You Win a Drunk Driving Case?

Reader’s Question:

I was charged with DUI and I feel like my case would just be lost. Do I at least have a fighting chance in winning my drunk driving case?

This is one of the most common mistakes that people charged with DUI do-think that they will just lose in their DUI case and the case is over especially if they had a blood alcohol reading of .08% or more. But you have to know that this is definitely not the way DUI defense works in the real world because DUI convictions are almost never assured.

The prosecution would point to several factors as evidence that you were driving under the influence when you were arrested in Tempe, Arizona. These factors include the odor of alcohol flowing from the breath, poor performance on the field sobriety tests, poor navigation of your vehicle, the appearance of being intoxicated, and the results of the breath or blood alcohol test. But all of those pieces of evidence are unreliable, ambiguous, based on faulty assumptions, open to attack and subject to multiple interpretations. There are a lot of DUI defenses that could be raised in a typical DUI case. Not every DUI defense would apply in your case but a good DUI lawyer could definitely study each line of defense that could be used in your DUI case.
