Tennessee DUI Defense Lawyer
Chattanooga DUI Attorney
As any experienced attorney will tell you, there are a number of ways a client can be defended against DUI charges in Tennessee. Depending on the circumstances surrounding your case, a Tennessee DUI defense lawyer from our firm will find the best way to effectively defend you against these serious criminal charges. A good defense strategy will be key to having your DUI charges reduced or dismissed in order to prevent you from suffering the harsh consequences of this type of crime.
DUI Defenses
The types of defenses that can be raised in a drunk driving case include:
Blood alcohol concentration: Given the many problems that occur in breath and blood testing, an examination of the tests and results may produce a DUI defense. The testing equipment, environmental conditions, medical conditions of the defendant, and the implementation of the test can all be called in to question to find a possible DUI defense. The blood or breath test also has to comply with Washington regulations in regards to calibration, maintenance, and testing procedures.
Probable cause: If the police officer who arrested you did not have probable cause to stop, detain, and arrest you for drunk driving, the evidence against you may be suppressed. There are certain regulations and procedures police officers must follow when making a DUI arrest and if they fail to do any part of this your charges may be dismissed.
Implied consent warnings: If you were not advised by the police officer about the consequences of refusing to take a blood or breath test, or if the test was not given correctly, the test results may be deemed inadmissible.
Miranda rights: If you were not read your Miranda rights or if your rights were not given to you at an appropriate time, incriminating statements may be suppressed.
