Did You Fail the Field Sobriety Tests?
At the law firm of Lane & Associates, we strongly believe that field sobriety tests are very inaccurate ways to determine whether a person was intoxicated. These tests have weaknesses. Our attorneys will take the time to specifically examine how the tests were administered in your case. We will seek out the weaknesses and use them to design a legal strategy dedicated to getting you positive results in your DUI case.
The Weaknesses of Field Sobriety Tests
Some of the weaknesses of field sobriety tests are fairly obvious. The reality is that the tests are challenging even if no alcohol has been consumed. When you factor in the additional stress caused by having police pull you over and unexpectedly force you to do these tests, it is a surprise that anyone can pass them.
Other weaknesses are specific to certain field sobriety tests, such as the one that involves walking heel-to-toe. The police may consider the test a failure if you raise your arm up more than six inches for balance. That is not very far.
Still other weaknesses are unique to individual scenarios. For example, a person with a leg injury may have a great deal of difficulty with the heel-to-toe walk. Our lawyers will take great care in looking over this evidence in search of weaknesses that we can use to strengthen your case.
We Know How to Fight Drunk Driving Charges
You can be assured that we know how to challenge field sobriety test evidence. We know how to challenge Breathalyzer evidence. We know how to challenge all evidence because we truly understand the evidence the opposition needs.
We know this because our lead attorney, Alex Lane, has previously served as a criminal prosecutor handling serious DUI cases. Part of his job was making certain that evidence was perfectly in line with requirements. Now, that knowledge is used to challenge the opposition and design strong cases to achieve positive results in DUI cases.
