We are here to ensure you understand each stage and that your response strengthens your defense.
Dealing with the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV)

Our attorneys not only remind you of these time-sensitive steps but also represent you during the DMV hearings.

We offer support every step of the way, ensuring that the defense strategy aligns with the preservation of your professional interests.
Understanding the Evidence Against You
Critical to any DUI defense is a comprehensive understanding of the evidence being used to support the charges. Our legal professionals meticulously review and deconstruct this evidence, seeking any weaknesses or improprieties that could be the key to your defense.
This rigorous analysis is fundamental to building a strong case in your favor.
The Role of Evidence in Crafting Your Defense
A robust defense hinges on the ability to challenge the evidence that the prosecution presents against you. For commercial drivers, this can involve complex technical data from breathalyzers or blood tests, which requires specialized knowledge to interpret and dispute. The attorneys connected through Doyen Sebesta & Poelma Lllp are not only conversant with the science behind these tests but are also skilled in identifying inaccuracies or procedural errors that could discredit the results.
We strive to ensure that every piece of evidence is scrutinized and that all of your legal options are explored. In many cases, challenging the evidence can lead to a reduction in charges or even a complete dismissal.
Understanding the dynamics of evidence is just one facet of our comprehensive defense services. Our dedication to your case means we work meticulously, checking every detail, and guiding you through each development with clarity and confidence.
Attacking the Credibility of Field Sobriety Tests
Field sobriety tests can be inherently subjective and prone to error. Our attorneys have the acumen to evaluate the administration of these tests and cast doubt on their reliability within the context of your case. Proper administration and interpretation are key, and any deviation can be advantageous in your defense.
Uncovering these discrepancies can form a crucial part of a winning defense strategy.
Examining Breathalyzer and Blood Test Procedures
Breathalyzer and blood tests are not infallible, and their results can be influenced by various factors, including machine calibration, maintenance, and operator error. Our lawyers investigate these avenues meticulously, contesting any fallacies in the prosecution's claims.
Disputing the accuracy of these tests could significantly impact the standing of your case.
Assessing the Circumstances of Your Traffic Stop
A fundamental question in DUI cases is the legality of the initial traffic stop. Was there a justifiable reason for the stop? Were your rights respected during the process? We evaluate these details rigorously to ascertain if any constitutional violations occurred.
An unlawful stop could render all subsequent evidence inadmissible, offering a path to dismissing the charges against you.
Highlighting Technical Defenses and Legal Loopholes
The legal system is complex, and at times, the defense lies in identifying technical defenses or loopholes within the law. Our attorneys are adept at uncovering these opportunities, providing you with an edge in court.
This attention to legal detail could make all the difference in the outcome of your DUI case.
